Cell Membrane Proteins (Ocular)

Molecular classification
Aquaporin, Connexin, G protein-coupled receptor, Enzyme, Ion channel, Structural protein, Transporter
01

Overview

A diverse group of integral and peripheral membrane proteins found throughout ocular tissues including the cornea, lens, and retina. They function as water channels (aquaporins), gap junction components (connexins), light-sensitive receptors/transducers involved in vision (rhodopsin/photopsin/transducin/PDE6/CNG channels), accessory signaling regulators/chaperones. These proteins are critical for maintaining ocular homeostasis, transparency, and proper visual function.
