Functional characterization of the rod visual pigment of the echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), a basal mammal.

Visual neuroscience - 1 Sept 2012

Bickelmann Constanze, Morrow James M, Müller Johannes, Chang Belinda S W

Abstract excerpt

Monotremes are the most basal egg-laying mammals comprised of two extant genera, which are largely nocturnal. Visual pigments, the first step in the sensory transduction cascade in photoreceptors of the eye, have been examined in a variety of vertebrates, but little work has been done to study the rhodopsin of monotremes. We isolated the rhodopsin gene of the nocturnal short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus...
