homeostasis/metabolism
• retinal amyloid beta accumulates in the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) layer and amyloid beta deposits are seen beneath the RPE layer
|
nervous system
• retinal amyloid beta accumulates in the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) layer and amyloid beta deposits are seen beneath the RPE layer
|
pigmentation
• abundant intracellular amyloid beta is seen in the cytosol of RPE and with increasing intracellular accumulation of amyloid beta, tight junction integrity is attenuated and disorganized
|
• 12 month old mutants show hypopigmentation in the RPE layer
|
vision/eye
• drusen-like deposit is seen between the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer and Bruch membrane in 12 month old mutants
|
• large vacuoles are seen in the retina of 12 month old mutants
|
• abundant intracellular amyloid beta is seen in the cytosol of RPE and with increasing intracellular accumulation of amyloid beta, tight junction integrity is attenuated and disorganized
|
• 12 month old mutants show hypopigmentation in the RPE layer
|
• thickened Bruch membrane is seen in the retina of 12 month old mutants
