UniProt functional annotation for Q6PRD1

UniProt code: Q6PRD1.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Orphan receptor, involved in vision. Required for signal transduction through retinal depolarizing bipolar cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22325362}.
 
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in the retina. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22325361}.
Disease: Night blindness, congenital stationary, 1E (CSNB1E) [MIM:614565]: An autosomal recessive, non-progressive retinal disorder characterized by impaired night vision, absence of the electroretinogram (ERG) b-wave, and variable degrees of involvement of other visual functions. Affected individuals have an ERG waveform that lacks the b-wave because of failure to transmit the photoreceptor signal through the retinal depolarizing bipolar cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22325361, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22325362}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. {ECO:0000305}.
