EYS Required to maintain the integrity of photoreceptor cells. Specifically required for normal morphology of the photoreceptor ciliary pocket, and might thus facilitate protein trafficking between the photoreceptor inner and outer segments via the transition zone. Belongs to the EYS family. Expressed in retina (at protein level) (PubMed:18976725, PubMed:18836446, PubMed:27737822, PubMed:27846257). Isoform 1: Detected in retina (PubMed:27846257). Isoform 2: Detected in retina (PubMed:27846257). Isoform 3: Strongly expressed in retina and testis (PubMed:27846257). Isoform 4: Strongly expressed in testis, and weakly expressed in retina (PubMed:27846257). 4 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported.
