products description :
Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited progressive disease which is a majorcause of blindness in western communities. It can be inherited as anautosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive disorder.In the autosomal dominant form,which comprises about 25% of totalcases, approximately 30% of families have mutations in the geneencoding the rod photoreceptor-specific protein rhodopsin. This is thetransmembrane protein which, when photoexcited, initiates the visualtransduction cascade. Defects in this gene are also one of the causes ofcongenital stationary night blindness.RHO (Rhodopsin) is a ProteinCoding gene. Diseases associated with RHO include Night Blindness,Congenital Stationary, Autosomal Dominant 1 and Retinitis Pigmentosa4, Autosomal Dominant Or Recessive. Among its related pathways are thevisual cycle I (vertebrates) and Phototransduction. GO annotations relatedto this gene include G-protein coupled receptor activity and photoreceptoractivity. An important paralog of this gene is OPN1SW

uniprot summary :
Rhodopsin: a G-protein coupled receptor. The light-absorbing visual pigment in Rod photoreceptor cells. Mediates vision in dim light. Consists of the apoprotein, opsin, covalently linked to cis-retinal. Defects in RHO are a cause of autosomal retinitis pigmentosa and congenital stationary night blindness. Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; GPCR, family 1; Membrane protein, integral; Receptor, GPCR. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 3q21-q24. Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; Golgi membrane; integral to plasma membrane; intercellular junction; photoreceptor inner segment; photoreceptor outer segment; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Molecular Function: G-protein coupled receptor activity; metal ion binding; photoreceptor activity; protein binding; retinal binding. Biological Process: absorption of visible light; G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; organelle organization and biogenesis; photoreceptor cell maintenance; phototransduction, visible light; protein amino acid phosphorylation; protein-chromophore linkage; red, far-red light phototransduction; regulation of rhodopsin mediated signaling; retina development in camera-type eye; retinoid metabolic process; rhodopsin mediated signaling; visual perception.
