Biochem/physiol Actions

Retinoschisin 1 (RS1) plays a role in binding of β-2-laminin, αβ-crystallin, phospholipid, galactose and Na/K ATPase−SARM1 (Sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing protein 1) complex. Mutations in the RS1 gene leads to a condition called as X-linked juvenile retinoschisis which leads to macular degradation in males and deterioration of vision.
