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.

What's a GeneRIF?

Homozygous in-frame deletion of GNAT1 gene is associated with Stationary night blindness, Oguchi type.
Title: Novel homozygous in-frame deletion of GNAT1 gene causes golden appearance of fundus and reduced scotopic ERGs similar to that in Oguchi disease in Japanese family.
This is the second report of a Nougaret-type congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) family with the GNAT1 variant. Our novel findings suggest that coexistence of the GNAT1 and biallelic ABCA4 variants is associated with an overlapping phenotype with both Nougaret-type CSNB and cone-rod dystrophy.
Title: Coexistence of GNAT1 and ABCA4 variants associated with Nougaret-type congenital stationary night blindness and childhood-onset cone-rod dystrophy.
Our family's ERG showed essentially no rod response, consistent with a Danish GNAT1 pedigree but different from the Nougaret GNAT1 pedigree that shows partial preservation of rod signal. A genetic connection between Complete congenital stationary night blindness and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome would be intriguing, but we found no evidence for this.
Title: Riggs-type dominant congenital stationary night blindness: ERG findings, a new GNAT1 mutation and a systemic association.
These data suggest that some truncating GNAT1 variants can indeed cause a recessive, mild, late-onset retinal degeneration in human beings rather than just stationary night-blindness as reported previously.
Title: A novel homozygous truncating GNAT1 mutation implicated in retinal degeneration.
Three candidate tumor-suppressor genes, SEMA3B, AXUD1 and GNAT1 may be involved in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Title: Screening of candidate tumor-suppressor genes in 3p21.3 and investigation of the methylation of gene promoters in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
These data suggest that a homozygous missense mutation in GNAT1 is associated with autosomal recessive stationary night blindness.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
