PCARE, Official Symbol PCAREprovided by HGNC Official Full Name photoreceptor cilium actin regulatorprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:34383 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000179270 MIM:613425; AllianceGenome:HGNC:34383 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as RP54; C2orf71 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in photoreceptors and may associate with the primary cilium of the outer segment. The encoded protein appears to undergo post-translational lipid modification. Nonsense and missense variants of this gene appear to cause a recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa.
