{"symbol":"GUCA1B","synonyms":["GCAP2","RP48","GUCA2"],"name":"guanylate cyclase activator 1B (retina)","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-binding protein that activates photoreceptor guanylate cyclases. This gene may have arisen due to a gene duplication event since there is a highly similar gene clustered with it on chromosome 6. Mutations in this gene can cause a form of retinitis pigmentosa.
