This protein is anchored to photoreceptor membranes in retinal cells and deactivates G proteins in the rod and cone phototransduction cascades. Mutations in this gene result in bradyopsia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009] Expression Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 1.6), lung (RPKM 1.2) and 24 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
