Overexpression and Properties of Wild-Type and Tyr437His Mutated Myocilin in the Eyes of Transgenic Mice
28 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To obtain experimental in vivo information on the functional properties of myocilin for aqueous humor (AH) outflow and to study in vivo the processing of mutated Tyr437His myocilin. Myocilin is a secreted glycoprotein that is mutated in some forms of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and patients with the Tyr437His mutation have severe phenotypes. METHODS: The chicken betaB1-crystallin promoter was...
