SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
text	peripheral membrane protein bound by ionic forces to the outer leaflet of the photoreceptor inner segment plasma membrane
	primarily localized on the outer surface of the inner segments of cones and rods as well as the outer nuclear and outer plexiform layers of the retina

basic FUNCTION	play an important role in the development and maintenance of retinal cytoarchitecture
	potentially involved in phospholipid binding and cell-cell interactions
	mediating interactions/adhesion between photoreceptor, bipolar, and Muller cells, contributing to the maintenance of the cytoarchitectural integrity of the retina
	functioning as an adhesive protein in preserving the structural and functional integrity of the retina
	having a functional role locally at the site of secretion and the association with the membrane is necessary for maintaining the stability and architecture of the photoreceptor inner segment
	interactions between L-VGCC-alpha 1 subunits and retinoschisin play an important role in the membrane retention of L-VGCC-alpha 1 subunits and photoreceptor-bipolar synaptic transmission
	has a role in the circadian regulation of L-type VGCCs
	in retinal cell layer organization and synaptic structure
	in the retina, functions as an adhesion molecule to preserve the structural organization of the retinal cell layers, a critical factor for promoting visual signal transduction
	having direct and specific effect on anionic lipid bilayers containing PS in the presence of Ca2++
	having dual functionality, as a cell-adhesion molecule and also as a regulatory accessory of several membrane protein assemblies
	important for the maintenance of retinal cell integrity

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	Pathologic changes in hemizygous Rs1h(-/Y) male mice are a marked splitting of the inner nuclear layer, a disorganization of the retinal cell layers, and a later degeneration of the photoreceptors whitch is more pronounced in cones
	Rs1h-KO mice display a thinned and disorganized outer nuclear layer, rod outer segments are misaligned and abundant schisis cavities spanned the inner nuclear, ERG a- and b-wave amplitudes are reduced by 33% and 50%, respectively
