Background InformationVisual arrestin is a 48 kDa protein expressed exclusively in retinal photoreceptor cells where it regulates light-dependent signal transduction through G protein-coupled receptor (rhodopsin) activation. Visual arrestin is the major pathogenetic autoantigen in human autoimmume imflammatory eye disease.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFunction: Arrestin is one of the major proteins of the ros (retinal rod outer segments); it binds to photoactivated-phosphorylated rhodopsin, thereby apparently preventing the transducin-mediated activation of phosphodiesterase.
Tissue specificity: Retina and pineal gland. Also expressed in the anterior tissues such as the ciliary epithelium and iris epithelium.
Involvement in disease: S-antigen induces autoimmune uveitis.
Miscellaneous: Arrestin binds calcium By similarity.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the arrestin family.
