We also aim at
understanding how different cilia are built and we use drosophila as a model system to
understand the specialized function of
ciliary genes in different ciliated cells and
ciliary sub-compartments.
We want to
understand how different RFX transcription factors are required for ciliogenesis control and how they are involved in
ciliary specialization in mouse tissues.
The gene product's precise role is not currently
understood but it is thought to anchor regulatory complexes at the photoreceptor connecting cilium, which acts as a bridge between the inner and outer segments of photoreceptor cells [43] as well as having functions in disk morphogenesis [42] and in the structure of the
ciliary axoneme [44].
When working to
understand eye issues, it's important to
understand that the iris,
ciliary body, and choroid make up the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye.
