    basic FUNCTION
  • participating in processes of transmission and amplification of the visual signal and critical role in regulating MAPK3 signaling
  • functioning to link SRC and GPRK2 in a signaling unit that regulates MAPK3 by epidermal growth factor
  • key regulator of phototransduction (Janisch 2009)
  • positive role in maintaining PDE activity (Dvir 2010)
  • with RHO, GNAT1, GNB1, are active in phototransduction in rods only
  • 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
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction , sensory transduction/vision
    photoreception
    a component
  • oligomer composed of two catalytic chains (alpha and beta), an inhibitory chain (gamma), and the delta chain
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • effector of the G-protein GNAT1 (Janisch 2009)
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other phosphorylated by G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 on threonine 62
    phosphorylation of PDE6G may increase or decrease its ability to deactivate phototransduction (Janisch 2010)
