Rd3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in negative regulation of guanylate cyclase activity; retina development in camera-type eye; and visual perception. Located in nucleus; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in brain and sensory organ. Used to study Leber congenital amaurosis 12. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis; Leber congenital amaurosis 12; and retinal degeneration. Orthologous to human RD3 (RD3 regulator of GUCY2D).

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 Rd3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
