Abstract excerpt
Calcium is involved in vision processes in the retina and implicated in various pathologies, including glaucoma. Rod cells rely on store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) to safeguard against the prolonged lowering of intracellular calcium ion concentrations. Zebrafish that lacked the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensor Stim2 (stim2 knockout [KO]) exhibited impaired vision and lower light perception-related gene...
