SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

extracellular

basic FUNCTION	being essential for photoreceptor morphology
	might be sequestered in the extracellular matrix, also known as the subretinal space, between the (developing) photoreceptors and RPE

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	Ca2+

protein	interaction with PROM1 (could be involved in ROS disc morphogenesis)
	might interact directly or indirectly with the extracellular domain of CRB1 or its homolog CRB2 and in this way form a critical component of Müller cell–photoreceptor cell and photoreceptor cell–photoreceptor cell interactions
