SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Opsin subfamily.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY

Rod shaped photoreceptor cells which mediate vision in dim light.

POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

Phosphorylated on some or all of the serine and threonine residues present in the C-terminal region (By similarity). After activation by light, phosphorylated by GRK1 (in vitro).; Contains one covalently linked retinal chromophore. Upon light absorption, the covalently bound 11-cis-retinal is converted to all-trans-retinal. After hydrolysis of the Schiff base and release of the covalently bound all-trans-retinal, active rhodopsin is regenerated by binding of a fresh molecule of 11-cis-retinal(PubMed:12566452).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION

Membrane.

FUNCTION

In aerobic respiration reactions, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) catalyzes the oxidation of succinate and ubiquinone to fumarate and ubiquinol. Four subunits comprise the SDH protein complex: a flavochrome subunit (SDHA), an iron-sulfur protein (SDHB), and two membrane-bound subunits (SDHC and SDHD) anchored to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations to these subunits cause mitochondrial dysfunction, corresponding to several distinct disorders. Mutations in the membrane bound components may cause hereditary paraganglioma, while SDHA mutations are associated with juvenile encephalopathy as well as Leigh Syndrome, a severe neurological disorder. Inactivating mutations in SDHB correlate with inherited, but not necessarily sporadic, cases of pheochromocytoma.
