CNGA3 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human CNGA3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q11.2 and is approximately 52 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel alpha-3 protein, plays a role in G-protein coupled signaling and cation transport that modulates both vision and olfaction. Mutation of the gene is associated with achromatopsia 2.
