Abstract excerpt
ABCA4 is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which has been implicated in the clearance of all-trans retinal derivatives from rod and cone photoreceptor cells following photoexcitation as part of the visual cycle. Mutations in ABCA4 are known to cause Stargardt macular degeneration and related disorders, associated with a severe loss in vision. Recently, a solid-phase binding...
