RBCs transmit light-driven signals from rods in the outer retina and contribute to retinal output through downstream amacrine cells (ACs) in the inner retina. This thesis presents my work identifying and characterizing trophoblast glycoprotein (TPBG), a leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein recently identified in RBCs. Similar leucine-rich repeat proteins in RBCs are essential for synaptic targeting, correct localization of signal transduction proteins, and regulating the RBC light response across different light intensities 000009605 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009605 650__ $$aNeurobiology$$022831 000009605 650__ $$aRetina$$025387 000009605 6531_ $$aphosphoproteomics 000009605 6531_ $$aprotein kinase c alpha 000009605 6531_ $$aamacrine cell 000009605 6531_ $$arod bipolar cell 000009605 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009605 7001_ $$aWakeham, Colin 000009605 8564_ $$9b62a8606-109d-4029-a585-73cde245f083$$s10845948$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9605/files/Wakeham.Colin.2022.pdf 000009605 905__ $$a/rest/prod/2r/36/tz/28/2r36tz28b 000009605 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9605$$pstudent-work 000009605 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
