Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Some Esyt2KO homozygotes reach adulthood when grown on nutrition-enriched food and they exhibit progressive retinal degeneration (with substantial loss of rhabdomere integrity) under constant light condition.

Esyt2KO homozygotes reared in dark exhibit a progressive reduction in the endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact site density in eye photoreceptors.
