Endocytosis-Associated Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor Rabgef1 Facilitates the Biogenesis of Outer Segments in Mammalian Photoreceptors

<p> Rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina are polarized sensory neurons that possess uniquely modified primary cilium, called the outer segment, to capture photons. Circadian-mediated shedding and renewal of outer segment membrane discs requires extensive vesicular transport of protein car...
