• following treatment with 100 uM ATP, retinal pigment epithelial cells exhibit a slow monophasic rise in intracellular free calcium ions that is greater than in wild-type cell
• however, calcium ion-induced chloride ion currents are normal

• at 2 to 6 months of age, the light peak recorded on an electroretinogram are larger than for wild-type mice
• mice exhibit a reversal of polarity in the response at low stimulus compared to wild-type mice
• the light peak is more sensitive to treatment with nimodipine than in wild-type mice
