Gngt1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable G-protein beta-subunit binding activity and GTPase activity. Acts upstream of or within eye photoreceptor cell development; phototransduction; and protein localization. Predicted to be located in photoreceptor inner segment and photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Is expressed in brain; retina; retina outer nuclear layer; and spleen. Orthologous to human GNGT1 (G protein subunit gamma transducin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gngt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
