About Rho

Summary

Enables retinal binding activity and spectrin binding activity. Involved in red, far-red light phototransduction and rhodopsin mediated signaling pathway. Located in photoreceptor outer segment membrane and rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant 1; fundus albipunctatus; night blindness; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 4. Orthologous to human RHO (rhodopsin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
