Function | Retina-specific kinase involved in the signal turnoff via phosphorylation of rhodopsin (RHO), the G protein- coupled receptor that initiates the phototransduction cascade (PubMed:15946941). This rapid desensitization is essential for scotopic vision and permits rapid adaptation to changes in illumination (By similarity). May play a role in the maintenance of the outer nuclear layer in the retina (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28327}; Lipid- anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28327}. Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WVL4} Note=Subcellular location is not affected by light or dark conditions {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WVL4} |
Tissue Location | Retinal-specific. Expressed in rods and cones cells. |
