Abstract excerpt
Mice homozygous for the retinal degeneration slow (rds) mutation completely lack photoreceptor outer segments. The rds gene encodes rds/peripherin (rds), a membrane glycoprotein in the rims of rod and cone outer segment discs. rds is present as a complex with the related protein, rom1. Here, we generated transgenic mice that express a chimeric protein (rom/D2) containing the intradiscal D2 loop of rds in the...
