phosducin; PHD; 33 kD phototransducing protein; MEKA protein (PDC)

Function

• may participate in the regulation of visual phototransduction or in the integration of photoreceptor metabolism
• light-induced changes in cyclic nucleotide levels modulate phosphorylation of PDC by cAMP kinase
• forms a complex with the beta & gamma subunits of the GTP-binding protein, transducin

Structure

belongs to the phosducin family

Compartment

outer & inner segments of the rod cells
