“…Reeves et al, 1994 ;Friedman and Gesek, 1995), has not been studied in human RPE, although there is evidence for its presence in frog, dogfish and bovine RPE (Salceda, 1989 ;Fijisawa et al, 1993). There is no information available as to whether the Na + \Ca# + exchanger expressed in RPE is of the cardiac type (Nicoll, Longoni and Philipson, 1990), or is of the unique type expressed by the adjacent rod photoreceptors, i.e., a K + -dependent antiporter (Achilles et al, 1991).…”
