disease:Defects in EGFL10 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 25 (RP25) [MIM:602772]. RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients suffer of night blindness, beginning at approximately 25 years of age, and deterioration of visual acuity (central vision), beginning at approximately 30 years of age. By age 55 to 60 years, many affected subjects had no perception of light in either eye.,function:Required to maintain the integrity of photoreceptor cells.,miscellaneous:Although the protein is conserved in Drosophila, the gene encoding the orthologous protein is inactive in rodents.,similarity:Belongs to the EYS family.,similarity:Contains 27 EGF-like domains.,similarity:Contains 5 laminin G-like domains.,subcellular location:Localizes in the photoreceptor cells layer.,tissue specificity:Present in retina.,
Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment . Cell projection, cilium . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium axoneme . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, interphotoreceptor matrix . Localizes to discrete puncta at, or adjacent to, the photoreceptor connecting cilium (PubMed:27737822). Highly expressed in cone photoreceptor outer segments (PubMed:27737822). Weakly expressed in rod photoreceptor outer segments (By similarity). May localize to the cilium axoneme (PubMed:27846257). May also be secreted into the interphotoreceptor extracellular matrix (PubMed:27737822). .
Expressed in retina (at protein level) (PubMed:18976725, PubMed:18836446, PubMed:27737822, PubMed:27846257). Isoform 1: Detected in retina (PubMed:27846257). Isoform 2: Detected in retina (PubMed:27846257). Isoform 3: Strongly expressed in retina and testis (PubMed:27846257). Isoform 4: Strongly expressed in testis, and weakly expressed in retina (PubMed:27846257).
