| Function | Involved in both the retinal photoreceptor ribbon synapse formation and physiological functions of visual perception. Plays a key role in the synaptic organization of photoreceptors by mediating transsynaptic interaction between alpha-dystroglycan and GPR179 on the postsynaptic membrane. Necessary for proper bipolar dendritic tip apposition to the photoreceptor ribbon synapse. Promotes matrix assembly and cell adhesiveness. |
