Calcium sets the physiological value of the dominant time constant of saturated mouse rod photoresponse recovery.

BACKGROUND: The rate-limiting step that determines the dominant time constant (τ(D)) of mammalian rod photoresponse recovery is the deactivation of the active phosphodiesterase (PDE6). Physiologically relevant Ca(2+)-dependent mechanisms that would affect the PDE inactivation have not been identifie...
