Extra Details:
Rhodopsin is a photoreceptor protein found in retinal rods. It is a complex formed by the binding of retinaldehyde; the oxidized form of retinol; to the protein opsin and undergoes a series of complex reactions in response to visible light resulting in the transmission of nerve impulses to the brain. Mutation of the rhodopsin gene is a major contributor to various retinopathies such as retinitis pigmentosa. The disease-causing protein generally aggregates with ubiquitin in inclusion bodies; disrupts the intermediate filament network and impairs the ability of the cell to degrade non-functioning proteins which leads to photoreceptor apoptosis (Berson et al.; 1991). Other mutations on rhodopsin lead to X-linked congenital stationary night blindness; mainly due to constitutive activation; when the mutations occur around the chromophore binding pocket of rhodopsin (Dryja et al.;1993). Several other pathological states relating to rhodopsin have been discovered including poor post-Golgi trafficking; dysregulative activation; rod outer segment instability and arrestin binding.
