Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calcium sensitive guanylate cyclase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within phototransduction and visual perception. Predicted to be located in photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be active in cone photoreceptor outer segment and photoreceptor inner segment. Is expressed in retina outer nuclear layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 48. Orthologous to human GUCA1B (guanylate cyclase activator 1B).
