Gene Symbol:

PDC Homo sapiens

Full name:

phosducin

Synonyms:

MEKA, PHD, PhLOP, PhLP, phosducin, 33 kDa phototransducing protein, G beta gamma binding protein, phosducin-like orphan protein

Genomic Location:

Chr 1: 184679337-184696862

Description:

This gene encodes a phosphoprotein, which is located in the outer and inner segments of the rod cells in the retina. This protein may participate in the regulation of visual phototransduction or in the integration of photoreceptor metabolism. It modulates the phototransduction cascade by interacting with the beta and gamma subunits of the retinal G...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a phosphoprotein, which is located in the outer and inner segments of the rod cells in the retina. This protein may participate in the regulation of visual phototransduction or in the integration of photoreceptor metabolism. It modulates the phototransduction cascade by interacting with the beta and gamma subunits of the retinal G-protein transducin. This gene is a potential candidate gene for retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome type II. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
