Photoreceptor cells, which include rods and cones, are specialized types of neurons in the retina that convert light into signals that can be processed by the brain. These cells have a unique structure called a cilium, which is a slender, hair-like structure that extends from the cell body. The cilium in photoreceptor cells is specialized for the transport of proteins and other materials necessary for phototransduction, the process by which light signals are converted into electrical signals.
It is suggested that PCARE/ C2orf71 plays a role in the regulation of actin within photoreceptor cilia. Actin is a protein that forms microfilaments, a component of the cell's cytoskeleton. In the context of photoreceptor cells, proper regulation of actin is critical for maintaining the structure and function of the photoreceptor cilium.Mutations in the gene encoding this protein have been associated with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, a type of progressive retinal degeneration leading to blindness. This suggests that PCARE is crucial for the normal function of photoreceptor cells, and that disruptions in this protein can lead to visual impairment.
