| Function |
May play a role in rpe physiology either by detecting light directly or by monitoring the concentration of retinoids or other photoreceptor-derived compounds.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Found only in the eye, where it is localized to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In the RPE, it is localized to the microvilli that surround the photoreceptor outer segments.
