Tmem138, a photoreceptor connecting cilium (CC) protein, is required for rhodopsin transport across the cilium and outer segment (OS) biogenesis
2021-05-23
Abstract excerpt
Photoreceptor connecting cilium (CC) is structurally analogous to the transition zone (TZ) of primary cilia and gates the molecular trafficking between the inner and the outer segment (OS). Retinal dystrophies with underlying CC defects are manifested in a broad array of syndromic conditions known as ciliopathies as well as non-syndromic retinal degenerations. Despite extensive studies, protein trafficking across...
