Role of visual pigment properties in rod and cone phototransduction.

Nature - 2 Oct 2003

Kefalov Vladimir, Fu Yingbin, Marsh-Armstrong Nicholas, Yau King-Wai

Abstract excerpt

Retinal rods and cones share a phototransduction pathway involving cyclic GMP. Cones are typically 100 times less photosensitive than rods and their response kinetics are several times faster, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Almost all proteins involved in phototransduction have distinct rod and cone variants. Differences in properties between rod and cone pigments have been described, such...
