Gene information for GNGT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2792
Official gene symbolGNGT1
Full nameguanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), gamma transducing activity polypeptide 1
Aliases,GNG1,
Gene summaryHeterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) transduce extracellular signals received by transmembrane receptors to effector proteins. Transducin is a guanine nucleotide-binding protein found specifically in rod outer segments, where it mediates activation by rhodopsin of a cyclic GTP-specific (guanosine monophosphate) phosphodiesterase. Transducin is also referred to as GMPase. GNGT1 encodes the gamma subunit of transducin (Hurley et al., 1984 [PubMed 6438626]; Scherer et al., 1996 [PubMed 8661128]).[supplied by OMIM]
