Protein name Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel alpha-1 (CNG channel alpha-1) (CNG-1) (CNG1) (Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel, photoreceptor) (Rod photoreceptor cGMP-gated cation channel subunit alpha) (cGMP-gated cation channel alpha-1)
Protein function Pore-forming subunit of the rod cyclic nucleotide-gated channel. Mediates rod photoresponses at dim light converting transient changes in intracellular cGMP levels into electrical signals. In the dark, cGMP levels are high and keep the channel o
