RP9
Function
Is thought to be a target protein for the PIM1 kinase. May play some roles in B-cell proliferation in association with PIM1 (By similarity).
Involvement in disease
Retinitis pigmentosa 9
RP9
A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
