General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism during rod phototransduction, cGMP and Ca2+ are regulated by PDE6, guanylate cyclase, and cGMP-gated Na+/Ca2+ channels. The level of cGMP is controlled by opposing activities of PDE6 and guanylate cyclase and, at sufficiently high levels, Na+/Ca2+ channels open to allow increased Ca2+ influx into the rod outer segment Mus musculus
