Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mutations in the ABCA4 gene in Stargardt disease (STGD1) causes accumulation of cytotoxic lipofuscin, resulting in RPE atrophy and photoreceptor dysfunction. One component of lipofuscin is the all- trans -retinal derivative, bisretinoid N- retinylidene- N- retinylethanolamine (A2E). Since ocular A2E biosynthesis relies on circulating all- trans -retinol bound to retinol binding protein 4 (R...
