Activation of phospholipase C mimics the phase shifting effects of light on melatonin rhythms in retinal photoreceptors.
Many aspects of retinal photoreceptor function and physiology are regulated by the circadian clocks in these cells. It is well established that light is the primary stimulus that entrains these clocks; yet, the biochemical cascade(s) mediating light's effects on these clocks remains unknown. Th...
