Targeted Disruption of the Murine Retinal Dehydrogenase Gene <i>Rdh12</i> Does Not Limit Visual Cycle Function
28 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
RDH12 codes for a member of the family of short-chain alcohol dehydrogenases/reductases proposed to function in the visual cycle that supplies the chromophore 11-cis retinal to photoreceptor cells. Mutations in RDH12 cause severe and progressive childhood onset autosomal-recessive retinal dystrophy, including Leber congenital amaurosis. We generated Rdh12 knockout mice, which exhibited grossly normal retinal...
