Human rhodopsin (RHO) promoter; drives expression exclusively in rod photoreceptors of the retina. Used for AAV-based gene therapy targeting retinitis pigmentosa and other inherited rod photoreceptor dystrophies.
Length: 839 bp
Characteristics
Rod photoreceptor-specific promoter from the human RHO gene. Drives strong, selective expression in rod cells; used in gene therapy vectors for retinitis pigmentosa.
