Short Name | Peropsin |
description | Peropsin is a visual pigment-like protein found in ocular tissues.The protein has been localised to the apical face of the retinal pigmentepithelium (RPE), most prominently to the microvilli that surround thephotoreceptor outer segments. It is believed that peropsin may play arole in RPE physiology, either by detecting light directly, or by monitoringthe concentration of retinoids or other photoreceptor-derived compounds []. |
