The roles of trp and calcium in regulating photoreceptor function in Drosophila.

Current opinion in neurobiology - 1 Aug 1996

Minke B, Selinger Z

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...
