Iron 75-79 hephaestin Mus musculus 0-4 22342521-3 2012 In mice, a combined systemic mutation of Heph and systemic knockout of Cp (Cp(-/-), Heph(sla/sla)) causes retinal iron accumulation and retinal degeneration, with features of human age-related macular degeneration; however, the role of Heph and Cp in the individual retinal cells is unclear. Iron 114-118 hephaestin Mus musculus 41-45 22342521-3 2012 In mice, a combined systemic mutation of Heph and systemic knockout of Cp (Cp(-/-), Heph(sla/sla)) causes retinal iron accumulation and retinal degeneration, with features of human age-related macular degeneration; however, the role of Heph and Cp in the individual retinal cells is unclear. Iron 114-118 hephaestin Mus musculus 84-88 22342521-5 2012 Loss of both Heph and Cp from RPE cells alone results in RPE cell iron accumulation and degeneration. Iron 66-70 hephaestin Mus musculus 13-17 22342521-7 2012 Photoreceptor-specific Heph knockout indicates that the additional iron in the RPE cells does not result from loss of ferroxidases in the photoreceptors, and Cp and Heph play minor roles in photoreceptors. Iron 67-71 hephaestin Mus musculus 23-27 22342521-9 2012 Cp and Heph are necessary for iron export from the retina but are not essential for iron import into the retina.
