Source: NCBI Gene (ID 2780)

Symbol: GNAT2

Full name: G protein subunit alpha transducin 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ACHM4; GNATC; HG1D

Summary: Transducin is a 3-subunit guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) which stimulates the coupling of rhodopsin and cGMP-phoshodiesterase during visual impulses. The transducin alpha subunits in rods and cones are encoded by separate genes. This gene encodes the alpha subunit in cones. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
