UniProt functional annotation for P20942

UniProt code: P20942.

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
 
Function: Inhibits the transcriptional activation activity of the cone- rod homeobox CRX (By similarity). May participate in the regulation of visual phototransduction or in the integration of photoreceptor metabolism. {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with CRX (By similarity). Forms a complex with the beta and gamma subunits of the GTP-binding protein, transducin. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P20941}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P20941}. Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19632}. Photoreceptor inner segment {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19632}.
Ptm: Light-induced changes in cyclic nucleotide levels modulate the phosphorylation of this protein by cAMP kinase.
Similarity: Belongs to the phosducin family. {ECO:0000305}.
