Gene Full Name phosducin
Background This gene encodes a phosphoprotein, which is located in the outer and inner segments of the rod cells in the retina. This protein may participate in the regulation of visual phototransduction or in the integration of photoreceptor metabolism. It modulates the phototransduction cascade by interacting with the beta and gamma subunits of the retinal G-protein transducin. This gene is a potential candidate gene for retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome type II. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Function May participate in the regulation of visual phototransduction or in the integration of photoreceptor metabolism. Inhibits the transcriptional activation activity of the cone-rod homeobox CRX. [UniProt]
Cellular Localization Cytoplasm, cytosol. Nucleus. Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment. Photoreceptor inner segment. Isoform 2: Nucleus. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 28 kDa
PTM Light-induced changes in cyclic nucleotide levels modulate the phosphorylation of this protein by cAMP kinase. [UniProt]
