OverviewNCBI Gene

In humans, the rod photoreceptor cGMP-gated cation channel helps regulate ion flow into the rod photoreceptor outer segment in response to light-induced alteration of the levels of intracellular cGMP. This channel consists of two subunits, alpha and beta, with the protein encoded by this gene representing the beta subunit. Defects in this gene are a cause of cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 45. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CNGB1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CNGB1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CNGB1 could matter depends on whether native CNGB1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CNGB1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CNGB1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CNGB1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
