Description:
Retinal S antigen chromatographically purified from whole retina, induces experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis in laboratory animals. The 48K protein, a soluble protein found in rod outer segments, is purified through its specific binding to photoexcited rhodopsin and is involved in the quenching of light-induced guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate-phosphodiesterase activity. Biochemical, immunological, functional, and pathological tests showed that retinal S antigen and the 48K protein are identical.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pfister, C -- Chabre, M -- Plouet, J -- Tuyen, V V -- De Kozak, Y -- Faure, J P -- Kuhn, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 May 17;228(4701):891-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2988124" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
