1J7X - PubMed Abstract: 
Interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (IRBP), the major soluble component of the interphotoreceptor matrix, is critical to the function, integrity, and development of the vertebrate retina. Although its role is poorly understood, IRBP has been thought to protect 11-cis retinal and all-trans retinol while facilitating their exchange between the photoreceptors and retinal-pigmented epithelium ...
