Peropsin, a novel visual pigment-like protein located in the apical microvilli of the retinal pigment epithelium

2 Sept 1997

Abstract excerpt

A visual pigment-like protein, referred to as peropsin, has been identified by large-scale sequencing of cDNAs derived from human ocular tissues. The corresponding mRNA was found only in the eye, where it is localized to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Peropsin immunoreactivity, visualized by light and electron microscopy, localizes the protein to the apical face of the RPE, and most prominently to the...
