Summary
GUCA1A (guanylate cyclase activator 1A, HGNC:4678) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p21.1, encoding Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1 (P43080). Stimulates retinal guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is low and inhibits guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is elevated.
This gene encodes an enzyme that plays a role in the recovery of retinal photoreceptors from photobleaching. This enzyme promotes the activity of retinal guanylyl cyclase-1 (GC1) at low calcium concentrations and inhibits GC1 at high calcium concentrations. Mutations in this gene can cause cone dystrophy 3 and code-rod dystrophy 14. provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Stimulates retinal guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is low and inhibits guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is elevated. This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of retinal guanylyl cyclase is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure. May be involved in cone photoreceptor light response and recovery of response in bright light.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer.
Subcellular location. Membrane. Photoreceptor inner segment. Cell projection. Cilium. Photoreceptor outer segment.
Tissue specificity. In the retina, it is expressed in rod and cone photoreceptors.
Disease relevance. Cone dystrophy 3 (COD3) [MIM:602093] An autosomal dominant cone dystrophy. Cone dystrophies are retinal dystrophies characterized by progressive degeneration of the cone photoreceptors with preservation of rod function, as indicated by electroretinogram. However, some rod involvement may be present in some cone dystrophies, particularly at late stage. Affected individuals suffer from photophobia, loss of visual acuity, color vision and central visual field. Another sign is the absence of macular lesions for many years. Cone dystrophies are distinguished from the cone-rod dystrophies in which some loss of peripheral vision also occurs. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cone-rod dystrophy 14 (CORD14) [MIM:602093] An autosomal dominant form of cone-rod dystrophy, a retinal disease characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination, predominantly in the macular region, and initial loss of cone photoreceptors followed by rod degeneration. This leads to decreased visual acuity and sensitivity in the central visual field, followed by loss of peripheral vision. Severe loss of vision occurs earlier than in retinitis pigmentosa, due to cone photoreceptors degenerating at a higher rate than rod photoreceptors. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Binds three calcium ions (via EF-hands 2, 3 and 4) when calcium levels are high. Binds Mg(2+) when calcium levels are low.
