Visinin: biochemical and molecular comparisons in normal and rd chick retina.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 16 Mar 1992

Semple-Rowland S L, van der Wel H

Abstract excerpt

Western, northern and DNA sequence analyses were used to determine if the retinal protein, visinin, is defective in the chicken retinal degeneration mutant, rd. A 22kDa band, corresponding to purified visinin, was stained with equal intensity on Western blots of +/+, +/rd and rd/rd retinal protei...
