CNGA2 Peptide

Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) cation channels are heteromeric complexes made up of principal alpha and modulatory beta subunits. The alpha subunits consist of CNG1-3 and form functional cation channels by themselves. The beta subunits consist of CNG4-6 and, unlike the alpha subunits, do not form functional channels, but rather modify the properties of channels. CNG channels are essential components of olfactory and visual transduction. In olfactory neurons, CNG2, CNG4.3 and CNG5 form Ca2+ permeable channels, which open and depolarize the cell in response to cAMP. In rod photoreceptors, CNG1 and CNG4.1 combine to form Ca ion permeable channels, which give rise to a current in response to cGMP. CNG3 and CNG6 are expressed in cone receptors and may combine to form a native cGMP-activated channel. CNG channels have been implicated in other areas.
