Calcium sensor proteins play a crucial role in the functioning of photoreceptor cells, which are essential for vision. These proteins, particularly the guanylate cyclase-activating proteins (GCAPs ...

We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness ...

Researchers uncovered how zebrafish detect colors using photoreceptor cells in the pineal gland. The protein parapinopsin 1 (PP1) is inactivated by arrestin proteins Sagb and Arr3a, which switch roles ...

A type of pineal photoreceptor cell that contains a protein called parapinopsin 1 (PP1) detects color. These PP1 cells become active and inactive in proportion to the difference in wavelength of ...

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes ... is a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for the differentiation of photoreceptor cells and activated by binding to the GPCR Bride ...

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of monogenic disorders caused by mutations in more than 280 genes, and are characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina.

Keeping the Steps of Cell Division in Line Jan. 28, 2025 — A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct ...

The Gonzales Lab at UNR Med, led by Albert Gonzales, Ph.D., assistant professor of physiology and cell biology, spearheaded ...
