Gene information for CNGB3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54714
Official gene symbolCNGB3
Full namecyclic nucleotide gated channel beta 3
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the beta subunit of a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel. The encoded beta subunit appears to play a role in modulation of channel function in cone photoreceptors. This heterotetrameric channel is necessary for sensory transduction, and mutations in this gene have been associated with achromatopsia 3, progressive cone dystrophy, and juvenile macular degeneration, also known as Stargardt Disease.
