Gene information for GUCA1B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2979
Official gene symbolGUCA1B
Full nameguanylate cyclase activator 1B (retina)
Aliases,DKFZp686E1183,GCAP2,GUCA2,RP48,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-binding protein that activates photoreceptor guanylate cyclases. This gene may have arisen due to a gene duplication event since there is a highly similar gene clustered with it on chromosome 6. Mutations in this gene can cause a form of retinitis pigmentosa.
