Words similar to photoreceptor
Example sentences for: photoreceptor
How can you use “photoreceptor” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
For example, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) generates a number of reactive oxygen species when illuminated with light [ 1 ] . Furthermore, phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments by RPE causes an increase in intracellular [ 2 ] and extracellular H 2 O 2 generation [ 3 ] . Oxidative stress has been suggested as the cause of a number of retinal pathological conditions [ 4 5 ] .
The Seven in Absentia (SinA) protein was discovered in Drosophila as a mediator of photoreceptor development [ 29 ] . Subsequently, SinA was shown to participate in the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway [ 30 31 ] . The presence of a RING finger domain in the N-terminus of the mammalian homologue of SinA, "Siah", suggests it may be involved in targeting specific proteins for degradation in the proteasome as a ubiquitin ligase [ 32 ] . Two mammalian genes encoding Siah, Siah1 and 2, are known.
Retinal dysplasia is characterized by palisading outer retinal cells that surround a central lumen [ 57 ] . It occurs in mice with a variety of genetic defects and in some instances is associated with abnormalities of the retinal pigment epithelium [ 58 59 60 61 62 ] . Both during development and in adult life, the retinal pigment epithelium is critical to retinal function [ 63 ] . BMP2 and 4 may act as negative growth regulators in the retinal pigment epithelium [ 64 ] . It is possible that haploinsufficiency of BMP4 in the retinal pigment epithelium may be responsible for focal retinal dysplasia and displacement of photoreceptor nuclei.
1 (amacrine cells, 1:1000, Sigma), anti-Pax6 (ganglion cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells, and progenitors, 1:300, Convance), RhoD3 (rod photoreceptor cells, 1:250) [ 75 ] , anti-blue cone opsin, 1:10,000, [ 76 ] anti-Chx10 (Bipolar cells, 1:5000; rabbit polyclonal made against a gst fusion protein).
The lower level of α-ARD immunoreactivity in layer 4 with the terminals of photoreceptor R8 was not surprising as fly photoreceptors R1-6 and R8 are known to be histaminergic [ 29, 30, 31, 32].
