Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel alpha 2

Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel alpha 2 (CNG channel alpha 2) refers to a protein that is part of a group of ion channels known as cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels. These channels are primarily involved in sensory transduction processes, particularly in the olfactory system (for smell) and in photoreceptors in the retina (for vision).
