UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P52202 (P52202)
Gene Name:
RHO
Organism: Alligator mississippiensis (American alligator)
Function: Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity (PubMed:8654500). 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 (PubMed:8654500). Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by arrestin and terminates signaling (By similarity)

Protein Subcellular Localization: Membrane. Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment
