Abstract excerpt
The light-sensitive outer segment organelle of photoreceptor cells contains a stack of hundreds of flat, disc-shaped membranes called discs. The rims of these discs contain a photoreceptor-specific tetraspanin protein peripherin-2 (also known as rds or PRPH2). Mutations in the PRPH2 gene lead to a wide variety of inherited retinal degenerations in humans. The vast majority of these mutations occur within a large,...
