Functional Analysis of Missense Mutations in Kv8.2 Causing Cone Dystrophy with Supernormal Rod Electroretinogram
31 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in KCNV2 have been proposed as the molecular basis for cone dystrophy with supernormal rod electroretinogram. KCNV2 codes for the modulatory voltage-gated potassium channel α-subunit, Kv8.2, which is incapable of forming functional channels on its own. Functional heteromeric channels are however formed with Kv2.1 in heterologous expression systems, with both α-subunit genes expressed in rod and cone...
