Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * GNAT1 is a G protein subunit that is responsible for the activation of the phototransduction cascade. * It is a transmembrane protein that is expressed in a variety of cell types, including glial cells, retinal rod cells, eye photoreceptor cells, erythrocytes, plasma cells, rod bipolar cells, kidney proximal convoluted tubule epithelial cells, T cells, and kidney distal convoluted tubule epithelial cells. * GNAT1 is a key regulator of the phototransduction cascade, and its expression is regulated by a variety of factors, including light, hormones, and neurotransmitters. **Pathways and functions:** * The phototransduction cascade is a complex signaling pathway that is responsible for the perception of light. * GNAT1 is one of the proteins that is involved in the activation of the cascade. * It binds to the G protein alpha (i) subunit of the G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex and activates it, which leads to the activation of the phototransduction cascade. * The cascade then leads to the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are responsible for the perception of light. **Clinical significance:** GNAT1 is a gene that is associated with a number of eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment. * Mutations in GNAT1 have been linked to the development of these eye diseases. * GNAT1 is a promising target for the treatment of eye diseases that are caused by mutations in genes that are involved in the phototransduction cascade.
