Acts as a positive transcriptional regulator of NXNL1; regulation is significantly increased in synergy with VSX1. Acts as a negative transcr [...] (380 aa)
CrxCone-rod homeobox protein; Transcription factor that binds and transactivates the sequence 5'-TAATC[CA]-3' which is found upstream of several photoreceptor-specific genes, including the opsin genes. Acts synergistically with other transcription factors, such as NRL, RORB and RAX, to regulate photoreceptor cell-specific gene transcription. Essential for the maintenance of mammalian photoreceptors. (323 aa)
Rlbp1Retinaldehyde-binding protein 1; Soluble retinoid carrier essential the proper function of both rod and cone photoreceptors. Participates in the regeneration of active 11-cis-retinol and 11-cis-retinaldehyde, from the inactive 11- trans products of the rhodopsin photocycle and in the de novo synthesis of these retinoids from 11-trans metabolic precursors. The cycling of retinoids between photoreceptor and adjacent pigment epithelium cells is known as the 'visual cycle'. (317 aa)
Slc18a3Vesicular acetylcholine transporter; Involved in acetylcholine transport into synaptic vesicles. Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Vesicular transporter family. (530 aa)
Lrit3Leucine-rich repeat, immunoglobulin-like domain and transmembrane domain-containing protein 3; Plays a role in the synapse formation and synaptic transmission between cone photoreceptor cells and retinal bipolar cells. Required for normal transmission of a light-evoked stimulus from the cone photoreceptor cells to the ON-bipolar cells and ON-ganglion cells in the inner retina. Required in retinal ON-bipolar cells for normal localization of the cation channel TRPM1 at dendrite tips. Seems to play a specific role in synaptic contacts made by ON-bipolar cells with cone photoreceptor pedic [...] (681 aa)
Tmco1Calcium load-activated calcium channel; Calcium-selective channel required to prevent calcium stores from overfilling, thereby playing a key role in calcium homeostasis. In response to endoplasmic reticulum overloading, assembles into a homotetramer, forming a functional calcium-selective channel, regulating the calcium content in endoplasmic reticulum store ; Belongs to the TMCO1 family. (188 aa)
Rpe65Retinoid isomerohydrolase; Critical isomerohydrolase in the retinoid cycle involved in regeneration of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of rod and cone opsins. Catalyzes the cleavage and isomerization of all-trans-retinyl fatty acid esters to 11-cis-retinol which is further oxidized by 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase to 11-cis-retinal for use as visual chromophore. Essential for the production of 11-cis retinal for both rod and cone photoreceptors. Also capable of catalyzing the isomerization of lutein to meso-zeaxanthin an eye-specific carotenoid. The soluble form binds vitamin A (all-tra [...] (533 aa)
Gucy2dGuanylate cyclase D; Functions as an olfactory receptor activated by urine odorants, uroguanylin and guanylin and as well by the volatile semiochemicals carbon disulfide (CS2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Has guanylate cyclase activity upon binding of the ligand (By similarity). Activation of GUCY2D neurons leads to the cGMP-dependent activation of the CNGA3 channels, membrane depolarization and an increase in action potential frequency. Signaling pathways activated by GUCY2D may trigger social behaviors such as acquisition of food preference. (1117 aa)
CckCholecystokinin-12; This peptide hormone induces gall bladder contraction and the release of pancreatic enzymes in the gut. Its function in the brain is not clear. Binding to CCK-A receptors stimulates amylase release from the pancreas, binding to CCK-B receptors stimulates gastric acid secretion; Belongs to the gastrin/cholecystokinin family. (115 aa)
Cep290Centrosomal protein of 290 kDa; Involved in early and late steps in cilia formation. Its association with CCP110 is required for inhibition of primary cilia formation by CCP110 (By similarity). May play a role in early ciliogenesis in the disappearance of centriolar satellites and in the transition of primary ciliar vesicles (PCVs) to capped ciliary vesicles (CCVs). Required for the centrosomal recruitment of RAB8A and for the targeting of centriole satellite proteins to centrosomes such as of PCM1 (By similarity). Required for the correct localization of ciliary and phototransduction [...] (2479 aa)
CrhbpCorticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein; Binds CRF and inactivates it. May prevent inappropriate pituitary-adrenal stimulation in pregnancy; Belongs to the CRF-binding protein family. (322 aa)
