Rpe65 - retinal pigment epithelium 65 Gene

Also Known as LCA2; RP20; rd12; 65kDa; Mord1; A930029L06Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 19892

Summary

Enables retinal isomerase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to electrical stimulus; Insulin Receptor signaling pathway; and retinal metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in eye; pelvic urothelial lining; pigmented retinal epithelium; and urothelium of ureter. Used to study Leber congenital amaurosis 2 and retinitis pigmentosa 20. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 2; retinitis pigmentosa; retinitis pigmentosa 20; and retinitis pigmentosa 87. Orthologous to human RPE65 (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
