MeSH definition : A 48-Kd protein of the outer segment of the retinal rods and a component of the phototransduction
cascade. Arrestin quenches G-protein activation by binding to phosphorylated photolyzed
rhodopsin. Arrestin causes experimental autoimmune uveitis when injected into laboratory
animals.;
MeSH synonym : retinal s antigen; s antigen, retinal; retinal s-antigen; s-antigen, retinal;
MeSH annotation : an eye protein; do not confuse with ARRESTINS;
