Identification of Novel Substrates for cGMP Dependent Protein Kinase (PKG) through Kinase Activity Profiling to Understand Its Putative Role in Inherited Retinal Degeneration.

Abstract excerpt

Inherited retinal degenerative diseases (IRDs), which ultimately lead to photoreceptor cell death, are characterized by high genetic heterogeneity. Many IRD-associated genetic defects affect 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. cGMP-dependent protein kinases (PKGI and PKGII) have emerged as novel targets, and their inhibition has shown functional protection in IRDs. The development of such novel...
