Full name: G protein subunit gamma transducin 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: G-GAMMA-8; G-GAMMA-C; GNG9; GNGT8; HG3I

Summary: Phototransduction in rod and cone photoreceptors is regulated by groups of signaling proteins. The encoded protein is thought to play a crucial role in cone phototransduction. It belongs to the G protein gamma family and localized specifically in cones. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
