Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Opticin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OPTC gene .[ 5] [ 6]
Opticin belongs to class III of the small leucine-rich repeat protein (SLRP) family. Members of this family are typically associated with the extracellular matrix . Opticin is present in significant quantities in the vitreous of the eye and also localizes to the cornea , iris , ciliary body , optic nerve , choroid , retina , and fetal liver . Opticin may noncovalently bind collagen fibrils and regulate fibril morphology, spacing, and organization. The opticin gene is mapped to a region of chromosome 1 that is associated with the inherited eye diseases age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and posterior column ataxia with retinosa pigmentosa (AXPC1).[ 6]
