  • Title: [Tissue-specific retinal proteins in vertebrate evolution].
    Author: Suchkov SV, Kulagin PP, Bekchanov AN.
    Journal: Zh Evol Biokhim Fiziol; 1981; 17(4):417-21. PubMed ID: 6169234.
    Abstract:
    Studies have been made on water soluble antigens of the retina from man and some animals. In the bovine retina, immunochemical analysis reveals, apart from antigens with a broad and narrow interorganic specificity, organospecific alpha 1- and rho-globulins. Immunochemically, the bovine alpha 1-globulin is partially identical with the same protein of the human retina and completely identical to retinal antigens from cattle; rho-globulin is characterized as an interspecific antigen in man and mammals. Molecules of organospecific alpha 1-globulins from the retina of man and some animals (sheep, camel, horse, cow, pig) do not contain the determinants related to the retinal antigens from fishes, reptiles and birds. In human and mammalian retina, acid neurospecific alpha 1-glycoprotein was found which is topical of the cerebral tissue. Organospecific alpha 1-globulin of the bovine retina is located in the pigment epithelium, in the zone of outer and inner photoreceptor segments; organospecific rho-globulin is distributed in the outer synaptic layer of the retina.
