gene: che-6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans 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).
