Swiss-port # P47804 Human RPE-retinal G protein-coupled receptor |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | RGR |
| Gene Full Name | retinal G protein coupled receptor |
| Background | This gene encodes a putative retinal G-protein coupled receptor. The gene is a member of the opsin subfamily of the 7 transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Like other opsins which bind retinaldehyde, it contains a conserved lysine residue in the seventh transmembrane domain. The protein acts as a photoisomerase to catalyze the conversion of all-trans-retinal to 11-cis-retinal. The reverse isomerization occurs with rhodopsin in retinal photoreceptor cells. The protein is exclusively expressed in tissue adjacent to retinal photoreceptor cells, the retinal pigment epithelium and Mueller cells. This gene may be associated with autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (arRP and adRP, respectively). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Receptor for all-trans- and 11-cis-retinal. Binds preferentially to the former and may catalyze the isomerization of the chromophore by a retinochrome-like mechanism. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 32 kDa |
| PTM | Covalently binds all-trans- and 11-cis-retinal. [UniProt] |
