In darkness, transducin is sequestered within the membrane-enriched outer segments of the rodcell.
2
Photoreceptor rodcells and blood platelets are remarkably different, yet both illustrate a similar phenomenon.
3
In rodcells, cholesterol strongly inhibits rhodopsin activity.
4
Some deep-sea fish only have rodcells in the retinas of their eyes, unlike humans who have both rods and cones.
5
Bright light also causes relocalization of transducin from the OS (outer segments) of the rodcells to the inner compartments.
6
What's more, in cats, the signals from about 1500 rodcells are pooled into each neuron that leads out of the retina.
7
Rodcell numbers correlated with a drop in the overall amount of rhodopsin and a reduction in the maximum a-wave of the rod ERG.
8
In this study, we explore the role of this protein in processes associated with the formation of disk membranes, specialized organelles of photoreceptor rodcells.
9
Frogs have a violet-sensitive visual pigment (S group) in small single cone cells and a blue-sensitive visual pigment (MS group) in green rodcells.
