Role of the Second Intradiscal Loop of Peripherin/<i>rds </i>in Homo and Hetero Associations

Abstract excerpt

Peripherin/rds (P/rds) is a disk rim protein that assembles into homo and hetero complexes with its nonglycosylated homologue, Rom-1, to maintain the integrity of the photoreceptor outer segment. Mutations in the rds gene have been identified in a variety of human retinal degenerative diseases. More than 70% of these mutations are located in the second intradiscal (D2) loop, highlighting the functional importance...
