Abstract excerpt
Rod photoreceptor neurons in the retina detect scotopic light through the visual pigment rhodopsin (Rho) in their outer segment (OS). Efficient Rho trafficking to the OS through the inner rod compartments is critical for long-term rod health. However, given the importance of protein trafficking to the OS, little is known about the trafficking of rod synaptic proteins. Furthermore, the subcellular impact of Rho...
