Anti-CNGB3 Antibody

Cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel beta-3; Cone photoreceptor cGMP-gated channel subunit beta; Cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel modulatory subunit; Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel beta-3; CNG channel beta-3; CNGB3;

Visual signal transduction is mediated by a G-protein coupled cascade using cGMP as second messenger. This protein can be activated by cGMP which leads to an opening of the cation channel and thereby causing a depolarization of rod photoreceptors. Induced a flickering channel gating, weakened the outward rectification in the presence of extracellular calcium, increased sensitivity for L-cis diltiazem and enhanced the cAMP efficiency of the channel when coexpressed with CNGA3 (By similarity) . Essential for the generation of light-evoked electrical responses in the red-, green- and blue sensitive cones.
