Molecular evidence suggests that each retina expresses a different visualpigment.
2
A new high-resolution structure is reported for bovine rhodopsin, the visualpigment in rod photoreceptor cells.
3
Goldfish has a UV-sensitive visualpigment (S group) localized in miniature single cone cells.
4
Activation of the visualpigment by light in rod and cone photoreceptors initiates our visual perception.
5
The visual cycle is a chain of biochemical reactions that regenerate visualpigment following exposure to light.
1
Vision relies on photoactivation of visualpigments in rod and cone photoreceptor cells of the retina.
2
For example, rod and cone visualpigments couple to distinct variants of the heterotrimeric G protein transducin.
3
Vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptors require continuous supply of chromophore for regenerating their visualpigments after photoactivation.
4
There are exceptions, the firefly squid Watasenia scintillans possesses three kinds of visualpigments in the eye.
5
Although nocturnal and diurnal geckos have rod- and cone-based retinas, respectively, they have phylogenetically closely related visualpigments.
1
Type E lesions can be described as drusen-like retinalpigment detachments.
2
FAG showed window defects due to atrophy of retinalpigment epithelium.
3
In persons susceptible to AMD, the retinalpigment epithelium becomes dysfunctional.
4
These genes are expressed preferentially in the retina or the retinalpigment epithelium.
5
Optical coherence tomography disclosed that the strands existed at the retinalpigment epithelium level.

Our studies add another dimension to an essential role for LPCAT1 in retinalphotoreceptor homeostasis.
2
Conclusions: Transplantation of fetal retinalphotoreceptor suspensions into the subretinal space was achieved safely in nine subjects.
3
These data suggest that Otx2 plays a functional role in the maturation of retinalphotoreceptor and bipolar cells.
4
Here we present evidence suggesting that Qo2 must be controlled differently in the retinalphotoreceptor cells of the honeybee drone.
5
Emerging evidence also indicates that NAS and its derivatives have neuroprotective properties and protect retinalphotoreceptor cells from light-induced degeneration.
6
Rhodopsins are prototypical GPCRs that detect photons in retinalphotoreceptor cells and trigger a phototransduction cascade that culminates in neuronal signaling.
7
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary disease that leads to the progressive degeneration of retinalphotoreceptor cells and to blindness.
8
Phototransduction is carried out by a signaling pathway that links photoactivation of visual pigments in retinalphotoreceptor cells to a change in their membrane potential.
9
The present study aimed to investigate the mechanisms that mediate the protective effects of pyridoxamine (PM) on light-damaged retinalphotoreceptor cells in diabetic mice.
10
Degeneration or dysfunction of retinalphotoreceptors is frequently observed in diverse ciliopathies.
11
Multitissue Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization studies indicate that SPACR expression is restricted to retinalphotoreceptors.
12
The ERG a-wave is the light-induced hyperpolarization of retinalphotoreceptors, and the b-wave is the depolarization of ON-bipolar cells.
13
Light absorbed by retinalphotoreceptors triggers a cascade of reactions that initiate cGMP hydrolysis, cation channel closure and membrane hyperpolarization.
14
Here, we study a canonical pair of sister cell types, retinalphotoreceptors and bipolar cells, to identify the key cis-regulatory features that distinguish them.
15
Rat AA-NAT mRNA was detected exclusively in the retinalphotoreceptors in the outer nuclear layer-lowduring the day and increased more than threefold at night.
