摘要: The phototransduction cascade is the series of biochemical reactions through which a photon light results in decreased neurotransmitter release photoreceptor. Analogous but biochemically distinct pathways are responsible for both rod and cone phototransduction. 1 A photoisomerization rhodopsin from 11-cis retinal to all trans rod. This allows transducin exchange GTP GDP. activated complex can then inhibitory γ subunit cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) resulting concentration free cGMP. cGMP-gated cation channel closed decreasing sodium conductance hyperpolarizing
