{"symbol":"IMPG1","synonyms":["IPM150","GP147","SPACR","VMD4"],"name":"interphotoreceptor matrix proteoglycan 1","description":"This gene encodes a protein that is a major component of the retinal interphotoreceptor matrix. The encoded protein is a proteoglycan that is thought to play a role in maintaining viability of photoreceptor cells and in adhesion of the neural retina to the retinal pigment epithelium. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
