Function
Acts as a calcium sensor and regulates phototransduction of cone and rod photoreceptor cells. Modulates light sensitivity of cone photoreceptor in dark and dim conditions. In response to high Ca(2+) levels induced by low light levels, prolongs RHO/rhodopsin activation in rod photoreceptor cells by binding to and inhibiting GRK1-mediated phosphorylation of RHO/rhodopsin.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Photoreceptor inner segment; Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment; Photoreceptor outer segment membrane (Lipid-anchor); Perikaryon
Tissue Specificity: Retina and pineal gland
