Also known as PDEA2ACHM5COD4
Summary
PDE6C (phosphodiesterase 6C, HGNC:8787) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q23.33, encoding Cone cGMP-specific 3’,5’-cyclic phosphodiesterase subunit alpha’ (P51160). As cone-specific cGMP phosphodiesterase, it plays an essential role in light detection and cone phototransduction by rapidly decreasing intracellular levels of cGMP.
This gene encodes the alpha-prime subunit of cone phosphodiesterase, which is composed of a homodimer of two alpha-prime subunits and 3 smaller proteins of 11, 13, and 15 kDa. Mutations in this gene are associated with cone dystrophy type 4 (COD4).

Cone cGMP-specific 3’,5’-cyclic phosphodiesterase subunit alpha’ — P51160 (reviewed: P51160)
Alternative names: cGMP phosphodiesterase 6C
All UniProt accessions (1): P51160
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. As cone-specific cGMP phosphodiesterase, it plays an essential role in light detection and cone phototransduction by rapidly decreasing intracellular levels of cGMP.
Subunit / interactions. Composed of two alpha’ subunits that are associated with 3 smaller proteins of 11, 13, and 15 kDa.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Disease relevance. Cone dystrophy 4 (COD4) [MIM:613093] An early-onset 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. Achromatopsia 5 (ACHM5) [MIM:613093] A form of achromatopsia, an ocular stationary disorder due to the absence of functioning cone photoreceptors in the retina. It is characterized by total colorblindness, low visual acuity, photophobia and nystagmus. ACHM5 inheritance is autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Binds 2 divalent metal cations per subunit. Site 1 may preferentially bind zinc ions, while site 2 has a preference for magnesium and/or manganese ions.
Similarity. Belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family.
