    basic FUNCTION
  • regulating phosphoreceptor membrane guanylyl cyclase RETGC2 in a Ca2+ sensitive manner (but less effective than GCAP1 for stimulating RETGC1)
  • neuronal calcium sensors, which confer Ca2+ sensitivity to guanylyl cyclase activity
  • playing a role in regulating the photoresponse
  • functional EF-hands in neuronal calcium sensor GCAP2 determine its phosphorylation state and subcellular distribution, and are essential for photoreceptor cell integrity
  • GUCA1A and GUCA1B (or guanylyl cyclase-activating proteins [GCAPs]) have been identified as important mediators of the photoreceptor response to changes in intracellular Ca2+

    protein
  • both GUCA1A and GUCA1B stimulate GUCY2F equally well at saturation (
  • MEF2D is required for the expression of various genes in photoreceptor and bipolar cells, including cone arrestin, GUCA1B, PDE6H and CACNA1S, which encode outer segment and synapse proteins
