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 …

Retinal photoreceptor cells contain a specialized outer segment (OS) compartment that
functions in the capture of light and its conversion into electrical signals in a process known …

The subunit number and stoichiometry of membrane-bound proteins are difficult to
determine without disrupting their membrane environment. Here we describe a single …

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

Seeing begins in the photoreceptors, where light is absorbed and signaled to the nervous
system. Throughout the animal kingdom, photoreceptors are diverse in design and purpose …

Stimulus-secretion coupling is an essential process in secretory cells in which regulated
exocytosis occurs, including neuronal, neuroendocrine, endocrine, and exocrine cells. While …

Abstract The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2013/14 provides concise overviews of
the key properties of over 2000 human drug targets with their pharmacology, plus links to an …

▪ Abstract Cyclic nucleotide–activated ion channels play a fundamental role in a variety of
physiological processes. By opening in response to intracellular cyclic nucleotides, they …

2, 2, 2-Trichloroethanol (TCE) incorporated into polyacrylamide gels before polymerization
provides fluorescent visible detection of proteins in less than 5min of total processing time …

Phototransduction is the process by which light triggers an electrical signal in a
photoreceptor cell. Image-forming vision in vertebrates is mediated by two types of …
