Predicted to enable cGMP binding activity; intracellular cAMP-activated cation channel activity; and intracellular cGMP-activated cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in monoatomic cation transmembrane transport. Located in neuronal cell body. Expressed in ASEL; ASER; AWCL; and AWCR. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 2 and retinitis pigmentosa 49. Is an ortholog of several human genes including CNGA1 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 1); CNGA2 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 2); and CNGA3 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 3).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
