Male germ cell-associated kinase (MAK) is required for axoneme formation during ciliogenesis in zebrafish photoreceptors
2023-11-20
Abstract excerpt
Vertebrate photoreceptors are highly specialized retinal neurons that have cilium-derived membrane organelles called outer segments (OS), which function as platforms for phototransduction. Male germ cell-associated kinase (MAK) is a cilium-associated serine/threonine kinase, and its genetic mutation causes photoreceptor degeneration in mice and retinitis pigmentosa in humans. However, the role of MAK in photorecep...
