Abstract excerpt
Guanylyl cyclase activating proteins (GCAPs) are Ca2+-binding proteins of the EF-hand superfamily, through which the intracellular calcium regulates cGMP synthesis in vertebrate photoreceptors. GCAPs play an essential role in the calcium feedback mechanism that controls recovery and light adaptation of rods and cones. Moreover, mutations in at least one of the GCAPs have already been linked to two forms of...
