Gene nameGUCA1B
Protein nameGuanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2 (GCAP 2) (Guanylate cyclase activator 1B)
GUCA1B protein
SynonymsGCAP2
DescriptionFUNCTION: Stimulates two retinal guanylyl cyclases (GCs) GUCY2D and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is low, and inhibits GUCY2D and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is elevated (By similarity). This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of GCs is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure (By similarity). May be involved in cone photoreceptor response and recovery of response in bright light (By similarity). .
