Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables calcium, potassium:sodium antiporter activity; calcium-dependent protein binding activity; and calmodulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion transmembrane transport; cellular response to high light intensity; and cone photoresponse recovery. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of gene expression. Located in several cellular components, including cone photoreceptor outer segment; plasma membrane; and vesicle. Is active in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; stomach; testis; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type 2A5 and pigmentation disease. Orthologous to human SLC24A4 (solute carrier family 24 member 4).
