May play a role in retinal photoreceptors development.
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm
Detected at the outer limiting membrane (OLM) and in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) of the retina. At the OLM, detected apical to the adherens junction (AJ).
Expressed in the retina (at protein level). Highly expressed in the retina. Lower amounts are detected in brain, testis, ARPE-19, RPE/choroid and fetal eye. Isoform 5 is retina-specific.
