Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice expressing the rhodopsin mutant Pro347Ser (Serine 6) display retinal degeneration through apoptosis that is characteristic of the disease retinitis pigmentosa. By 5 weeks after birth, these mice have lost approximately 35% of their photoreceptor cells. Retinas from these mice showed higher levels of cAMP compared to the levels in retinas of normal mice. Our studies provide evidence that elevated...
