RPGR: Role in the photoreceptor cilium, human retinal disease, and gene therapy
21 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Cilia are specialized dynamic organelles extending from the surface of almost all mammalian cells. Since proteins and protein precursors are transported across the ciliary compartments via intraflagellar transport (IFT), mutations in genes encoding proteins that participate in IFT can cause a spectrum of different ciliopathies. Photoreceptors of the mammalian retina contain ciliary structures that connect the...
