Other interactions of Rpe65

  • We exposed to bright light two groups of genetically altered mice that lack the visual pigment rhodopsin (Rpe65-/- and Rho-/-) [4].
  • Despite the loss of rods and cones, the RPE65(-/-) and rd/rd maintained a 24-h circadian rhythm entrained to light similar to controls and were capable of circadian reentrainment to a 12-h light reversal [16].
