Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene encodes an extracellular protein that plays a crucial role in the cellular organization of the retina. The encoded protein is assembled and secreted from photoreceptors and bipolar cells as a homo-oligomeric protein complex. Mutations in this gene are responsible for X-linked retinoschisis, a common, early-onset macular degeneration in males that results in a splitting of the inner layers of the retina and severe loss in vision. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008].
  • UniProt Summary: Binds negatively charged membrane lipids, such as phosphatidylserine and phosphoinositides (By similarity). May play a role in cell-cell adhesion processes in the retina, via homomeric interaction between octamers present on the surface of two neighboring cells (PubMed:27114531). Required for normal structure and function of the retina (PubMed:19093009). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z1L4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19093009, ECO:0000305|PubMed:27114531}.
