Real-time PCR to detect the mRNA levels for the catalytic subunits of PP-1α, PP-1β, PP-2Aα, and PP-2Aβ in the retina, lens epithelium, lens fiber, and cornea of the mouse eye. Real-time PCR procedures are described in the Methods section. The primers used in this study are listed in Table 2. Note that the mRNAs for the α and β catalytic subunits of both PP-1 and PP-2A were expressed at the highest levels in the retina and slightly reduced in the cornea but reduced 6–18 fold in the ocular lens of the mouse eye.
