QuickView for RHO (gene)

Gene Symbol:

RHO Homo sapiens

Full name:

rhodopsin

Synonyms:

CSNBAD1, OPN2, RP4, rhodopsin, opsin 2, rod pigment, opsin-2

Genomic Location:

Chr 3: 130730172-130736877

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is found in rod cells in the back of the eye and is essential for vision in low-light conditions. The encoded protein binds to 11-cis retinal and is activated when light hits the retinal molecule. Defects in this gene are a cause of congenital stationary night blindness.
