Cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel alpha-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CNGA3 gene. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]}

Function

This gene encodes a member of the cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel protein family, which is required for normal vision and olfactory signal transduction. CNGA3 is expressed in cone photoreceptors and is necessary for color vision. ^[9] Missense mutations in this gene are associated with rod monochromacy and segregate in an autosomal recessive pattern. ^[9] Two alternatively-spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. ^[8]

Clinical relevance

Variants in this gene have been shown to cause achromatopsia ^[10] and colour blindness.
