Peripherins

• 

  Subject Areas on Research

  • A single valine residue plays an essential role in peripherin/rds targeting to photoreceptor outer segments. 
  • Deletion of the transmembrane protein Prom1b in zebrafish disrupts outer-segment morphogenesis and causes photoreceptor degeneration. 
  • Expression of the intermediate filament peripherin in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. 
  • Nociceptors are interleukin-1beta sensors. 
  • Photoreceptor Disc Enclosure Is Tightly Controlled by Peripherin-2 Oligomerization. 
  • Photoreceptor discs form through peripherin-dependent suppression of ciliary ectosome release. 
  • Syncoilin modulates peripherin filament networks and is necessary for large-calibre motor neurons.
