-==PIKACHURIN GENE==
+==Introduction==
+Synapse formation is very important for mammalian CNS to function properly. Information is transferred from photoreceptors present in the eye to bipolar and horizontal cells at the specialized synapse known as ribbon synapse.Pikachurin is an extracellular retinal protein which helps in precise interaction and signal transmission between ribbon synapse and bipolar dendrites.
+== Function ==
+Pikachurin protein has a dual function of photoreceptor visual synapse formation and visual perception.
-== Function ==Has a Dual function of photoreceptor visual synapse formation and visual perception
-== Disease ==Visual Impairments were seen in mice with deleted pikachurin gene. Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) such as muscle-eye-brain disease caused by defective glycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG) exhibit defective photoreceptor synaptic function.

-== Structural highlights ==
-This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
