Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are cellular sensors for a wide spectrum of
physical and chemical stimuli. They are involved in the formation of sight, hearing, touch …

Chemosensory neurons translate perception of external chemical cues, including odorants,
tastants, and pheromones, into information that drives attraction or avoidance motor …

Plant cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs) are tetrameric cation channels which may
be activated by the cyclic nucleotides (cNMPs) adenosine 3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate …

One hundred and fifty years ago Max Schultze first proposed the duplex theory of vision, that
vertebrate eyes have two types of photoreceptor cells with differing sensitivity: rods for dim …

Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels transduce light-induced chemical signals into
electrical signals in retinal cone and rod photoreceptors. Structures of native CNG channels …

Cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD) channels are a family of ion channels in the
voltage-gated K+ channel superfamily that play crucial roles in many physiological …

Mammalian cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels are nonselective cation channels
activated by cGMP or cAMP and play essential roles in the signal transduction of the visual …

The light responses of rod and cone photoreceptors in the vertebrate retina are
quantitatively different, yet extremely stable and reproducible because of the extraordinary …

The first step in vision is the absorption of photons by the photopigments in cone and rod
photoreceptors. After initial amplification within the phototransduction cascade the signal is …

In rod photoreceptors of the retina, the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel is composed
of three CNGA and one CNGB subunits, and it closes in response to light activation to …
