Summary

IMPG1 (interphotoreceptor matrix proteoglycan 1, HGNC:6055) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q14.1, encoding Interphotoreceptor matrix proteoglycan 1 (Q17R60). Chondroitin sulfate-, heparin- and hyaluronan-binding protein.

This gene encodes a protein that is a major component of the retinal interphotoreceptor matrix. The encoded protein is a proteoglycan that is thought to play a role in maintaining viability of photoreceptor cells and in adhesion of the neural retina to the retinal pigment epithelium. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Chondroitin sulfate-, heparin- and hyaluronan-binding protein. May serve to form a basic macromolecular scaffold comprising the insoluble interphotoreceptor matrix.

Subcellular location. Cell projection. Cilium. Photoreceptor outer segment. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix. Interphotoreceptor matrix. Photoreceptor inner segment.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in the retina (at protein level). In the retina, specifically expressed by cone and rod photoreceptor cells. Localizes to cone and rod photoreceptor cells surrounding the interphotoreceptor matrix of the retina.

Post-translational modifications. The N-terminus is blocked. Highly glycosylated (N- and O-linked carbohydrates and sialic acid).

Disease relevance. Macular dystrophy, vitelliform, 4 (VMD4) [MIM:616151] A form of macular dystrophy, a retinal disease in which various forms of deposits, pigmentary changes, and atrophic lesions are observed in the macula lutea. Vitelliform macular dystrophies are characterized by yellow, lipofuscin-containing deposits, usually localized at the center of the macula. VMD4 features include late-onset moderate visual impairment, small satellite drusen-like lesions in the foveal area, and preservation of retinal pigment epithelium reflectivity. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Retinitis pigmentosa 91 (RP91) [MIM:153870] A form of retinitis pigmentosa, a retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. RP91 is an autosomal dominant form with bone-spicule pigmentation, attenuation of retinal vessels, and optic disk pallor on funduscopy. Patients may also experience early macular involvement, with photophobia and reduced visual acuity, and some show a bull’s eye pattern of macular atrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
