Abstract excerpt
Mutation of the inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase OCRL1 causes the X-linked disorder oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe, characterized by defects in the brain, kidneys, and eyes. OCRL1 exists as two splice isoforms that differ by a single exon encoding 8 amino acids. The longer protein, termed isoform a, is the only form in brain, whereas both isoforms are present in all other tissues. The significance of...
