Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate morphologic and functional contributions of Arrestin 1 (Arr1) and Arrestin 4 (Arr4) in cone photoreceptors, the authors examined the phenotypes of visual arrestin knockout mice (Arr1(-/-), Arr4(-/-), Arr1(-/-)Arr4(-/-) [Arr-DKO]) reared in darkness. METHODS: Retinal rods and cones were evaluated in wild-type (WT), Arr1(-/-), Arr4(-/-), and Arr-DKO mice using quantitative morphologic analysis,...
