NRL (gene) – Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Neural retina-specific leucine zipper protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NRL gene.[5][6][7]

Function[edit]

This gene encodes a basic motif-leucine zipper transcription factor of the Maf subfamily. The encoded protein is conserved among vertebrates and is a critical intrinsic regulator of photoreceptor cell development and function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with retinitis pigmentosa and degenerative diseases of the retina.[7]
