This enzyme promotes the activity of retinal guanylyl cyclase-1 (GC1) at low calcium concentrations and inhibits GC1 at high calcium concentrations. Mutations in this gene can cause cone dystrophy 3 and code-rod dystrophy 14. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: Stimulates retinal guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is low and inhibits guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is elevated (PubMed:19459154). This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of retinal guanylyl cyclase is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19459154, ECO:0000305}. |efhand| |guanylate cyclase regulator activity| |calcium sensitive guanylate cyclase activator activity| |positive regulation of guanylate cyclase activity| |regulation of guanylate cyclase activity| |positive regulation of purine nucleotide biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of nucleotide biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cyclase activity| |photoreceptor disc membrane| |positive regulation of lyase activity| |regulation of rhodopsin mediated signaling pathway| |regulation of purine nucleotide biosynthetic process| |regulation of nucleotide biosynthetic process| |regulation of cyclase activity| |regulation of lyase activity| |positive regulation of nucleotide metabolic process| |positive regulation of purine nucleotide metabolic process| |cellular response to calcium ion| |regulation of purine nucleotide metabolic process| |regulation of nucleotide metabolic process| |positive regulation of small molecule metabolic process| |regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |response to calcium ion| |cellular response to metal ion| |cellular response to inorganic substance| |visual perception| |sensory perception of light stimulus| |response to metal ion| |regulation of small molecule metabolic process| |response to inorganic substance| |calcium ion binding| |sensory perception| |regulation of response to external stimulus| |positive regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |positive regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |nervous system process| |positive regulation of catalytic activity| |positive regulation of molecular function| |regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |system process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp280|Daidzin 10μM R06 exp280]]|-2.11| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
