The light-sensitive channel and its second messenger in invertebrate photoreceptor cells.
Copyright policy )The light-sensitive channel and its second messenger in invertebrate photoreceptor cells.
In contrast to vertebrate phototransduction, invertebrate one remains unclear. This review gives a very brief and bold outline of invertebrate phototransduction, lying stress on the second messenger and light-sensitive channel that mediates the photroreceptor potential. Both IP3/Ca2+ and cGMP are the main candidates for the second messenger. The cGMP would be involved in gating the light-sensitive channels of most of the photoreceptive cells, irrespective of vertebrate and invertebrate, while the IP3/Ca2+ be limited to some of invertebrates.
