Gene:
guanylate cyclase activator 1A (retina)
Gene ID:
206868
Symbol:
GUCA1A
Species:
1000
Description:
Stimulates guanylyl cyclase 1 (GC1) when free calcium ions concentration is low and inhibits GC1 when free calcium ions concentration is elevated. This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of GC is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure.
