Abstract excerpt
Invertebrate photoreceptors use the ubiquitous inositol-lipid signaling pathway for phototransduction. This pathway depends on Ca2+ release from internal stores and on Ca2+ entry via light-activated channels to replenish the loss of Ca2+ in those stores. The Drosophila transient receptor potential (TRP) protein is essential for the high Ca2+ permeability and other biophysical properties of these light-activated...
