The biochemical events underlying the phototransduction cascade in retinal photoreceptors of vertebrates are now well established, on the basis of a wealth of electrophysiological and biochemical evidence. In this review the Ca2+ regulation of the enzymes that generates the photoreceptor light response is analyzed, as well as the Ca2+ transport across the plasma membrane. Most of the results discussed in the following were collected from electrophysiological experiments.

Abstract
The biochemical events underlying the phototransduction cascade in retinal photoreceptors of vertebrates are now well established, on the basis of a wealth of electrophysiological and biochemical evidence. In this review the Ca2+ regulation of the enzymes that generates the photoreceptor light response is analyzed, as well as the Ca2+ transport across the plasma membrane. Most of the results discussed in the following were collected from electrophysiological experiments.File in questo prodotto:
