Annotation Status

Current

Description

Enables G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity and retinal binding activity. Acts upstream of or within absorption of visible light. Located in photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; endocrine system; photoreceptor cell; presumptive neural retina; and visual system. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 1; fundus albipunctatus; night blindness; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 4. Orthologous to human RHO (rhodopsin).
