Photoreceptor degeneration and Ca2+ influx through light-activated channels of Drosophila.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2002

Geng Chaoxian, Pak William L

Abstract excerpt

We discuss in this chapter the role of Ca2+ homeostasis in maintaining the structural integrity of photoreceptor cells in Drosophila. Both insufficient and excessive amounts of Ca2+ in photoreceptor cells appear to lead to cell degeneration. Because one of the two classes of light-sensitive channels in Drosophila photoreceptors is highly Ca2+-permeable, how well this class of channels functions can profoundly...
