Figure 6. FMRP expression in the chick retina is modulated by light.

Figure 6

A) Western blots of protein extracts from light and dark adapted retinas with FMRP antibodies (top: FMRP ab17722; bottom: S499 phospho-FMRP) showing both 75 kDa (hash symbol) and 210 kDa (asterisk) bands. FMRP expression appears mostly in the light adapted retina sample. B) Quantification of the 210 kDa band optical density in relation to loading control (ab17722 FMRP/H3; 0.44±0.09 in light adapted vs 0.15±0.02 in dark adapted; *P=0.0107). C) Quantification of the 75 kDa band optical density in relation to loading control (ab17722 FMRP/H3: 0.55±0.15 in light adapted vs 0.18±0.01 in dark adapted; *P=0.0403). Three independent experiments were performed from three animals in each group.
