Accumulation of the Raf-1 Kinase Inhibitory Protein (Rkip) Is Associated with Cep290-mediated Photoreceptor Degeneration in Ciliopathies
18 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Primary cilia regulate polarized protein trafficking in photoreceptors, which are dynamic and highly compartmentalized sensory neurons of retina. The ciliary protein Cep290 modulates cilia formation and is frequently mutated in syndromic and non-syndromic photoreceptor degeneration. However, the underlying mechanism of associated retinopathy is unclear. Using the Cep290 mutant mouse rd16 (retinal degeneration...
