Abstract excerpt
Myocilin is secreted from trabecular meshwork cells to an eponymous extracellular matrix that is critical for maintaining intraocular pressure. Missense mutations found in the myocilin olfactomedin domain (OLF) lead to intracellular myocilin misfolding and are causative for the heritable form of early-onset glaucoma. The OLF domain contains a unique internal, hetero-dinuclear calcium site. Here, we tested the...
