gene: tax-4 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables identical protein binding activity; intracellular cAMP-activated cation channel activity; and intracellular cGMP-activated cation channel activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of stimulus; regulation of growth; and response to temperature stimulus. Located in ciliary inversin compartment; dendrite; and non-motile cilium. Part of cation channel complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 2 and retinitis pigmentosa 49. Is an ortholog of human CNGA1 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 1) and CNGA2 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 2).
