CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
text	membrane-associated

basic FUNCTION	participating in processes of transmission and amplification of the visual signal
	being necessary for the formation of a functional phosphodiesterase holoenzyme
	central enzyme in the visual transduction cascade
	key effector enzyme of the phototransduction cascade in rods and cones
	catalytic PDE6A and PDE6B subunits are enzymatically equivalent

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

sensory transduction/vision

a component	oligomer composed of two catalytic chains (alpha and beta), an inhibitory chain (gamma) and the delta chain
	prenylation

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

PDE6 holoenzyme consists of catalytic and inhibitory subunits in phototransduction cascade, and PDE6A and PDE6B code for the catalytic and PDE6G the inhibitory subunits in rods
