Abstract excerpt
Different forms of photoreceptor degeneration cause blindness. Retinal degeneration-3 protein (RD3) deficiency in photoreceptors leads to recessive congenital blindness. We proposed that aberrant activation of the retinal membrane guanylyl cyclase (RetGC) by its calcium-sensor proteins (guanylyl cyclase-activating protein [GCAP]) causes this retinal degeneration and that RD3 protects photoreceptors by preventing...
