Gene nameGUCA1A
Protein nameGuanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1 (GCAP 1) (Guanylate cyclase activator 1A)
Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1 (Guanylate cyclase activator 1A)
SynonymsC6orf131
GCAP
GUCA1
GCAP1
DescriptionFUNCTION: Stimulates retinal guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is low and inhibits guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is elevated . This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of retinal guanylyl cyclase is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure (By similarity). May be involved in cone photoreceptor light response and recovery of response in bright light (By similarity). .
