Function | May function as an adhesion molecule involved in stabilization and compaction of outer segment disks or in the maintenance of the curvature of the rim. It is essential for disk morphogenesis. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Retina (photoreceptor). In rim region of ROS (rod outer segment) disks. |
