Optimized Opsin Trafficking with Fluorescence-Dead Protein Fusions
Invention type: Technology
/
Case number: #18783TE
The invention, in some aspects, relates to dummy-fluorescent (DF) polypeptide molecules and their encoding nucleic acid molecules and use of such molecules in fusion proteins and their encoding nucleic acid molecules. Compositions of the invention may be delivered to cells and subjects and used in methods to modulate electrical activity of cells in which they are expressed, and for treatment of diseases and conditions in subjects.
