Abstract excerpt
This review summarizes the most recent progress in the understanding of the role of rhodopsin C-terminal domain in the regulation of intracellular trafficking and photoreceptor morphogenesis. A proposed cascade of molecular interactions, initiated by the rhodopsin C-terminal sequence VXPX-COOH during trafficking from the Golgi/TGN in retinal photoreceptors, is relayed by the small GTPase ARF4 to the downstream...
