## Abstract The elucidation of the molecular pathogenesis of a disease in animal models provides candidate targets for treatment. As specific antagonists for a target are developed and tested in clinical trials, if benefit is achieved, the candidate becomes a validated target. Validated targets sti
Mutations in the Drosophila retinal degeneration B (D-rdgB) gene cause light-enhanced retinal degeneration. Here, we report the isolation of the cDNA encoding human homologue of the D-rdgB and initial characterization of the gene products. Like D-rdgB, the human rdgB homologue (H-rdgB) is a transmem
