Retinoschisin and Cardiac Glycoside Crosstalk at the Retinal Na/K-ATPase. [PDF]
PURPOSE. Mutations in the RS1 gene, which encodes retinoschisin, cause X-linked juvenile retinoschisis, a retinal dystrophy in males. Retinoschisin specifically interacts with the retinal sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na/K-ATPase), a ...
