Abstract excerpt
Vision depends on the continuous recycling of the visual pigment chromophore 11-cis-retinal, which is converted by light into all-trans-retinal at the onset of the phototransduction cascade. Cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein 1 (CRALBP1) is a key component of both the canonical visual cycle in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the cone-specific recycling pathway mediated by Müller glia (MG) cells....
