photoreceptor's Usage Examples:

known types of photoreceptor cells in mammalian eyes: rods, cones, and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells.

When struck by a photon, 11-cis retinal undergoes photoisomerization to all-trans retinal which changes the conformation of the opsin GPCR leading to signal transduction cascades which causes closure of cyclic GMP-gated cation channel, and hyperpolarization of the photoreceptor cell.

Photoreceptors The photoreceptor cells involved in vision are the rods and cones.

The primary light-sensing cells in the retina are the photoreceptor cells, which are of two types: rods and cones.

Conversely, in the light a photoreceptor releases less glutamate, which hyperpolarizes the horizontal cell, leading to depolarization of nearby photoreceptors.

multicellular organism development • regulation of circadian rhythm • retinal rod cell development • eye photoreceptor cell development • transcription initiation.

gene are associated with photoreceptor degeneration, Leber"s congenital amaurosis type III and the autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy 2.

It receives visual information from photoreceptors via two intermediate neuron types: bipolar cells and retina amacrine cells.

Furthermore, mutations that blocked photoreduction had no effect on light-induced degradation of CRY, while mutations that altered the stability of • destroyed CRY photoreceptor function.

Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in lower light better than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells.

encoded by this gene is a photoreceptor-specific transcription factor which plays a role in the differentiation of photoreceptor cells.

Reducing this dark current causes the photoreceptor to hyperpolarise, which reduces glutamate release which thus reduces the inhibition of retinal nerves, leading to excitation of these nerves.

FunctionHorizontal cells are depolarized by the release of glutamate from photoreceptors, which happens in the absence of light.
