The present study showed that s26 is present in conephotoreceptors.
2
Vectors carrying a cone-specific promoter failed to transduce a quantifiable percentage of conephotoreceptors.

Abstract: Most vertebrates have rod and conephotoreceptors, which differ in their sensitivity and response kinetics.
4
These results suggest, surprisingly, that the cis-retinol oxidation occurs in the outer segments of conephotoreceptors.
5
Activation of the visual pigment by light in rod and conephotoreceptors initiates our visual perception.
6
Vertebrate rod and conephotoreceptors require continuous supply of chromophore for regenerating their visual pigments after photoactivation.
7
The ABCA4 gene encodes a membrane transporter protein localized in the outer segments of rod and conephotoreceptors.
8
These results demonstrate that 11-cis-retinol is not a useful substrate for rod photoreceptors although it is for conephotoreceptors.
9
We report here the cloning of the cDNA encoding the alpha-subunit of the cGMP-gated channel of human conephotoreceptors.
10
Coloured oil droplets in the conephotoreceptors represent an adaptation in the avian retina, acting as long-pass colour filters.
11
Inherited retinal degeneration affecting both rod and conephotoreceptors constitutes one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world.
12
Both vertebrate rod and medium wavelength-sensitive (M) conephotoreceptors differentiate by repression of a short wavelength-sensitive (S) cone differentiation program.
13
Oil droplets and ellipsoids both narrow the angular sensitivity of single conephotoreceptors, but not as strongly as those in human cones.
14
One daughter of the proband had only mild night blindness, however, the density of the conephotoreceptors was reduced in the parafoveal region.
15
A substantial number of foveal and parafoveal conephotoreceptors with apparently intact inner segments were identified in patients with the inherited disease achromatopsia.
16
Achromatopsia is an inherited retinal disorder of conephotoreceptors characterized by markedly reduced visual acuity, extreme light sensitivity, and absence of color discrimination.
