Abstract excerpt
BRI23, composed of the 23 last amino acids of the integral transmembrane protein 2B (ITM2B) C-terminus, is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, including retinal dystrophy (RD) and familial dementia. Its role in the retina remains poorly understood. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of BRI23 interactome in the human retina. Using a peptide-bead coupling system, we identified 2302...
