Presynaptic [Ca2+] and GCAPs: aspects on the structure and function of photoreceptor ribbon synapses
Changes in intracellular calcium ions [Ca2+] play important roles in photoreceptor signalling. Consequently, intracellular [Ca2+] levels need to be tightly controlled. In the light-sensitive outer segments (OS) of photoreceptors, Ca2+ regulates the activity of retinal guanylate cyclases (ret-GCs) th...
