Peripherin/rds Influences Membrane Vesicle Morphology
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Peripherin/rds is an integral membrane glycoprotein found in the rim regions of vertebrate photoreceptor cell discs. Natural mutations of the encoding gene result in degenerative retinal disorders, such as retinitis pigmentosa. The retinal degeneration slow (rds) phenotype, observed in mice, is considered to be an appropriate model for peripherin/rds-mediated retinitis pigmentosa. Associated abnormalities in the...
