Abstract excerpt
The domestic cat (Felix domesticus) is a useful model for understanding the implications of long-term expression and function of normal and mutant myocilin. To better understand the role myocilin has in the cat eye, we isolated and characterized cat myocilin. Oligonucleotides designed against conserved nucleotide regions of myocilin mammalian orthologs were used to PCR amplify a partial cat myocilin cDNA clone....
