Cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel alpha-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CNGA3 gene.
Contents
Function
This gene encodes a member of the cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel protein family, which is required for normal vision and olfactory signal transduction. Two alternatively-spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.
Clinical relevance
Variants in this gene have been shown to cause achromatopsia and colour blindness.
