photoreceptor outer segment membrane

PURPOSE We previously demonstrated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) to be involved in species-specific human retinal pigment… Expand

We have examined questions related to the biosynthesis of A2E, a fluorophore that accumulates in retinal pigment epithelial cells… Expand

Deposition of a fluorophoric material, known as lipofuscin, in retinal pigment epithelium cells has been speculated to be one of… Expand

The autofluorescent lipofuscin that accumulates in retinal pigment epithelial cells with age may contribute to an age-related… Expand

Within the retina, the Müller cells and photoreceptors are in close physical proximity and are metabolically coupled. It is… Expand

Vertebrate retinal photoreceptors periodically shed membrane from their outer segment distal tips; this material is phagocytosed… Expand

alpha A- and alpha B-Crystallins are significant contributors to maintaining the transparency of the vertebrate lens. We have… Expand

Primary events in the course of light induced retinal lesions are still not fully elucidated. Under chronic conditions, lipid… Expand

Cyclic nucleotide activated sodium currents were recorded from photoreceptor outer segment membrane patches. The concentration of… Expand

Abstract Microperoxisomes were localized in the pigmented retinal epithelium and tapetum lucidum of the retina of the American… Expand
