Abstract excerpt
Progressive rod-cone degeneration (PRCD) is a photoreceptor outer segment (OS) disc-specific protein essential for maintaining OS structures while contributing to rhodopsin packaging densities and distribution in disc membranes. Previously, we showed PRCD undergoing palmitoylation at the sole cysteine (Cys2), where a mutation linked with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in humans and dogs demonstrates the importance of...
