GNGT1, Official Symbol GNGT1provided by HGNC Official Full Name G protein subunit gamma transducin 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:4411 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000127928 MIM:189970; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4411 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 GNG1; HG3G1 Summary This gene encodes the gamma subunit of transducin, a guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) that is found in rod outer segments. Transducin, also known as GMPase, mediates the activation of a cyclic GTP-specific (guanosine monophosphate) phosphodiesterase by rhodopsin.
