NRL neural retina leucine zipper [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 4901)

Symbol: NRL

Full name: neural retina leucine zipper

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: D14S46E; NRL-MAF; RP27

Summary: This gene encodes a basic motif-leucine zipper transcription factor of the Maf subfamily. The encoded protein is conserved among vertebrates and is a critical intrinsic regulator of photoceptor development and function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with retinitis pigmentosa and retinal degenerative diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
