Gnat1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity and GTPase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to electrical stimulus; detection of light stimulus; and eye photoreceptor cell differentiation. Located in photoreceptor connecting cilium; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in brain; eye; photoreceptor layer outer segment; retina; and retina outer nuclear layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness 1G; congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 3; and night blindness. Orthologous to human GNAT1 (G protein subunit alpha 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 Gnat1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
