RD3L Gene

retinal degeneration 3-like

PRPH2 Gene

peripherin 2 (retinal degeneration, slow)

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein found in the outer segment of both rod and cone photoreceptor cells. It 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. This protein is essential for disk morphogenesis. Defects in this gene are associated with both central and peripheral retinal degenerations. Some of the various phenotypically different disorders are autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, progressive macular degeneration, macular dystrophy and retinitis pigmentosa digenic.

LOC101060399 Gene

cerebellar degeneration-related protein 2

CDR2L Gene

cerebellar degeneration-related protein 2-like

Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in Golgi to secretory granule transport and vesicle transport along microtubule. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

PRCD Gene

progressive rod-cone degeneration

This gene is predominantly expressed in the retina, and mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive retinal degeneration in both humans and dogs. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

CDR3 Gene

Cerebellar degeneration-related autoantigen-3

CDR2 Gene

cerebellar degeneration-related protein 2, 62kDa

Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

CDR1 Gene

cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1, 34kDa

Autoantibodies directed against the protein encoded by this intronless gene have been found in some patients with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. The encoded protein contains several hexapeptide repeats. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

RD3 Gene

retinal degeneration 3

This gene encodes a retinal protein that is associated with promyelocytic leukemia-gene product (PML) bodies in the nucleus. Mutations in this gene cause Leber congenital amaurosis type 12, a disease that results in retinal degeneration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

OPA6 Gene

optic atrophy 6 (autosomal recessive)

OPA4 Gene

optic atrophy 4 (autosomal dominant)

OPA5 Gene

optic atrophy 5 (autosomal dominant)

OPA2 Gene

optic atrophy 2 (obscure)

OPA1 Gene

optic atrophy 1 (autosomal dominant)

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein with similarity to dynamin-related GTPases. The encoded protein localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and helps regulate mitochondrial stability and energy output. This protein also sequesters cytochrome c. Mutations in this gene have been associated with optic atrophy type 1, which is a dominantly inherited optic neuropathy resulting in progressive loss of visual acuity, leading in many cases to legal blindness.

OPA3 Gene

optic atrophy 3 (autosomal recessive, with chorea and spastic paraplegia)

The mouse ortholog of this protein co-purifies with the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mutations in this gene have been shown to result in 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type III and autosomal dominant optic atrophy and cataract. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
