Description for Photoreceptors and Calcium
Hardback. Focuses on the status of Ca2+ ions in regulation of phototransduction, light adaptation and the recovery phase in vertebrate photoreceptors. This book emphasises on Ca2+-binding proteins and their targets, among them particulate guanylate cyclases, GPCR-coupled kinases and cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels. Editor(s): Baehr, Wolfgang; Palczewski, Krzysztof. Series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. Num Pages: 653 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MFN; PSAK; PSAN. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 44. Weight in Grams: 1555.
2 The role of Ca+ as an internal messenger in visual transduction of vertebrate and invertebrate organisms has been explored intensely in the recent past. Since the 2 early 1970s, calcium ions and cyclic GMP (whose levels are controlled by Ca+ in vertebrates) have been recognized as important second messengers. Particularly in 2 the last decade, however, the role of Ca+ in visual transduction has been re-evalu- ated and a proliferation of research has documented a multiplicity of roles. 2 It is now evident that Ca+ modulates phototransduction by acting at several 2 sites through a host of small Ca+ ...
