Retinal ganglion cells that express calretinin, also known as 29 kDa calbindin, are known as CB2-GRCs. They are a type of transient OFF-alpha RGCs (tOFF-alphaRGC). Like all alpha cells, these RGCs are immunoreactive with SMI-32, an antibody that recognizes an antigen rich in alpha RGC neurofilaments. They possess large, spherical somas, and monostratify within the OFF sublamina of the inner nuclear layer (IPL).
