Does vision use G-protein receptors?
Does vision use G-protein receptors? The light-activated rhodopsin, metarhodopsin II, binds to transducin, a heterotrimeric G protein. The brain interprets this and other light-induced signals, resulting in vision. What are receptor proteins in our eyes? Photoreceptor proteins are light-sensitive proteins involved in the sensing and response to light in a variety of organisms. [1] Photoreceptor […]
