Prph2 - peripherin 2 Gene

Also Known as RP7; Rd2; Rds; rds; AVMD; PRPH; Rd-2; AOFMD; Nmf193; Tspan22

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 19133

Summary

Enables protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception; photoreceptor cell outer segment organization; and protein complex oligomerization. Located in photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in eye; head; retina; and retina outer nuclear layer. Used to study patterned macular dystrophy 1 and retinitis pigmentosa 7. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis; eye degenerative disease (multiple); and fundus albipunctatus. Orthologous to human PRPH2 (peripherin 2).
