Eyes shut homolog is important for the maintenance of photoreceptor morphology and visual function in zebrafish. by Muriël Messchaert, Margo Dona, Sanne Broekman, Theo A Peters, Julio C Corral-Serrano, Ralph W N Slijkerman, Erwin van Wijk, Rob W J Collin

“…We characterized eys in zebrafish, by RT-PCR analysis on zebrafish eye-derived RNA, which led to the identification of a 8,715 nucleotide coding sequence that is divided over 46 exons. The transcript is predicted to encode a 2,905-aa protein that contains 39 EGF-like domains and five laminin A G-like domains, which overall shows 33% identity with human EYS. …”
