Elisa
Function
Involved in both the retinal photoreceptor ribbon synapse formation and physiological functions of visual perception. Necessary for proper bipolar dendritic tip apposition to the photoreceptor ribbon synapse. Promotes matrix assembly and cell adhesiveness.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse Pikachurin
Subcellular Location
Secreted extracellular space extracellular matrix Cell junction synapse Detected in the synaptic cleft of the ribbon synapse around the postsynaptic terminals of bipolar cells. Colocalizes with BSN, CTBP2 and DAG1 in photoreceptor synaptic terminals.
