Target Name
GUCA1B
Target Full Name
Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2
Target Function
Stimulates two retinal guanylyl cyclases (GCs) GUCY2D and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is low, and inhibits GUCY2D and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is elevated. This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of GCs is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure. May be involved in cone photoreceptor response and recovery of response in bright light.
Target Involvement
Retinitis pigmentosa 48 (RP48)
Target Subcellular Location
Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor. Photoreceptor inner segment. Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment.
Target Tissue Specificity
In the retina, it is expressed in cone and rod photoreceptor cells.
Target Synonyms
GCAP 2; Guanylate Cyclase Activating Protein Photoreceptor 2; Guanylate cyclase activator 1B; Guanylin 2; Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2; GUC1B_HUMAN; GUCA 2; Guca1b
Target Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-binding protein that activates photoreceptor guanylate cyclases. This gene may have arisen due to a gene duplication event since there is a highly similar gene clustered with it on chromosome 6. Mutations in this gene can cause a form of retinitis pigmentosa.
