abstract：:Epsilon is a recently described eye lens protein from Rana temporaria, an anuran amphibian. It is oligomeric with a subunit M.W. of 35K. The cDNA coding for 35K E- in frog lens does not show any homology with cDNA's coding for alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-crystallins. Immunologically, it also does not react with a...

abstract：PURPOSE:RPE65, a retinal pigment epithelium-specific 65-kDa protein, plays a critical role in the visual cycle of the eye. Rpe65(-/-) mice develop vision loss due to a lack of 11-cis-retinal, degradation of M-opsin and mislocalization of S-opsin. Several studies have suggested that 9-cis-β-carotene, a precursor of 9-ci...
