Photoreceptors and Calcium

This volume foxuses on the status of Ca²⁺ ions in regulation of phototransduction, light adaptation and the recovery phase in vertebrate photoreceptors. Particular emphasis is given to Ca²⁺-binding proteins and their targets, among them particulate guanylate cyclases, GPCR-coupled kinases and cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels. The book also expands our understanding of events invovling Ca²⁺ in the retinal pigment epithelium, in synaptic transmission and secondary retinal neurons. A si...
