Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The present study compared properties of wild-type and mutated mouse and human myocilin (Myoc) proteins as a prerequisite for development of a mouse model of glaucoma. METHODS: cDNA encoding full-length mouse Myoc was cloned into the p3XFLAG-CMV-14 vector. Tyr423His and Ile463Ser mutations were introduced into the mouse Myoc protein by in vitro mutagenesis. Intracellular localization and secretion of...
