UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P02700 (P02700)
Gene Name:
RHO
Organism: Ovis aries (Sheep)
Function: Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth (By similarity). Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins. Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling (By similarity)
Other Modifications: View all modification sites in dbPTM
Protein Subcellular Localization: Membrane. Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment
