Function: Functions as signal transducer for the rod photoreceptor RHO. Required for normal RHO-mediated light perception by the retina (PubMed: 22190596 ). Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) function as transducers downstream of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), such as the photoreceptor RHO. The alpha chain contains the guanine nucleotide binding site and alternates between an active, GTP-bound state and an inactive, GDP-bound state. Activated RHO promotes GDP release and GTP binding. Signaling is mediated via downstream effector proteins, such as cGMP-phosphodiesterase (By similarity). Cellular Location: Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment {ECO:0000250 UniProtKB:P04695}. Membrane {ECO:0000250 UniProtKB:P04695}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250 UniProtKB:P04695}. Tissue Location: Rod photoreceptor cells (PubMed:1614872). Predominantly expressed in the retina followed by the ciliary body, iris and retinal pigment epithelium (PubMed:22190596)

products description :
Transducin is a 3-subunit guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) which stimulates the coupling of rhodopsin and cGMP-phoshodiesterase during visual impulses. The transducin alpha subunits in rods and cones are encoded by separate genes. This gene encodes the alpha subunit in rods. This gene is also expressed in other cells, and has been implicated in bitter taste transduction in rat taste cells.

ncbi summary :
Transducin is a 3-subunit guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) which stimulates the coupling of rhodopsin and cGMP-phoshodiesterase during visual impulses. The transducin alpha subunits in rods and cones are encoded by separate genes. This gene encodes the alpha subunit in rods. This gene is also expressed in other cells, and has been implicated in bitter taste transduction in rat taste cells. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal dominant congenital stationary night blindness. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

uniprot summary :
G-alpha t1: Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. Transducin is an amplifier and one of the transducers of a visual impulse that performs the coupling between rhodopsin and cGMP-phosphodiesterase. Defects in GNAT1 are the cause of congenital stationary night blindness autosomal dominant type 3 (CSNBAD3); also known as congenital stationary night blindness Nougaret type. Congenital stationary night blindness is a non-progressive retinal disorder characterized by impaired night vision. Belongs to the G-alpha family. G(i/o/t/z) subfamily. Protein type: G protein, heterotrimeric; G protein; G protein, heterotrimeric alpha G((i/o/t/z)). Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 3p21. Cellular Component: photoreceptor outer segment; photoreceptor inner segment; membrane; cell soma; apical plasma membrane; plasma membrane; heterotrimeric G-protein complex; cytosol; photoreceptor connecting cilium. Molecular Function: GTPase activity; signal transducer activity; GDP binding; acyl binding; GTP binding; G-protein-coupled receptor binding; metal ion binding; G-protein beta/gamma-subunit binding; protein kinase binding.
