Sag Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables opsin binding activity and phosphoprotein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor internalization. Located in photoreceptor inner segment and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in eye and retina outer nuclear layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Oguchi disease-1; hereditary night blindness; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 47. Orthologous to human SAG (S-antigen visual arrestin).

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 Sag often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- protein phosphatase inhibitor activity
- Arrestin (or S-antigen), C-terminal domain
- spectrin binding
- phosphoprotein binding
- protein binding
- Arrestin (or S-antigen), N-terminal domain
