PIKACHURIN

Function

Has a Dual function of photoreceptor visual synapse formation and visual perception

Disease

Visual Impairments were seen in mice with deleted pikachurin gene. Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) such as muscle-eye-brain disease caused by defective glycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG) exhibit defective photoreceptor synaptic function.
