Abstract excerpt
We describe the isolation and molecular characterization of the chick ortholog of nyctalopin (NYX), the gene responsible for X-linked complete congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB1, also known as cCSNB). Chick Nyx (cNyx) comprises four exons spanning approximately 6.2 kb on Chromosome 1 and encodes a protein of 473 amino acids that shares 55% identity overall with its human counterpart. cNyx is expressed...
