The photoreceptor ribbon synapse is a unique type of synapse specialized for the tonic release of neurotransmitter in the dark. Ribeye is a self-aggregating protein and is one of the major scaffolding components of the ribbon on which the neurotransmitter containing vesicles are tethered. The protein consists of a unique A-domain and a B-domain. With the exception of the first 20 amino acids the B-domain is identical to the transcriptional corepressor CtBP 2. Both proteins originate from the same gene.
