CNG-1 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
The cyclic nucleotide gated channel alpha 1 encoded by CNGA1 is involved in phototransduction. Along with another protein, the encoded protein forms a cGMP-gated cation channel in the plasma membrane, allowing depolarization of rod photoreceptors. This represents the last step in the phototransduction pathway. Defects in this gene are a cause of retinitis pigmentosa autosomal recessive (ARRP) disease. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
