name: cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel alpha-3
def: "A cyclic nucleotide-gated channel alpha subunit that is a translation product of the human CNGA3 gene or a 1:1 ortholog thereof. These proteins are the alpha subunits of the cone cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel. This channel generates the light-evoked electrical responses of cone photoreceptors." [PRO:CNA]
