UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q68J47 (Q68J47)
Gene Name:
RHO
Organism: Loxodonta africana (African elephant)
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 (PubMed:15781694). Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling (By similarity)

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