Cnga1 is the alpha 1 subunit of cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) cation channels involved in visual and olfactory signal transduction. CNGalpha1-3 are able to form functional homooligomeric channels which control the flow of Na+ and Ca2+ into the outer segment of photoreceptor cells in response to light-induced changes in cGMP concentrations. The retinal rod cGMP-gated cation channel is a hetero-oligomer composed of the alpha subunit Cnga1 and a beta subunit. Cnga1 contains a core region of six putative membrane spanning segments, a cGMP binding domain, a voltage sensor-like motif and a pore region. Calmodulin (CaM) controls the activity of the rod cGMP-gated ion channel by decreasing the apparent cGMP affinity.
