Abstract excerpt
Drosophila photoreceptors use a phospholipase C-mediated signaling for phototransduction. This pathway begins by light activation of a G-protein-coupled photopigment and ends by activation of the TRP and TRPL channels. The Drosophila TRP protein is essential for the high Ca2+ permeability and constitutes the major component of the light-induced current, thereby affecting both excitation and adaptation of the...
