Dimerization deficiency of enigmatic retinitis pigmentosa-linked rhodopsin mutants

Retinitis pigmentosa is often caused by mutations that affect the activity or transport of rhodopsin, but some mutations cause disease even though an apparently functional protein is produced. Here the authors show that three such enigmatic mutants retain scramblase activity but are unable to dimeri...
