Cyclic Nucleotide-gated Ion Channels in Rod Photoreceptors Are Protected from Retinoid Inhibition

In vertebrate rods, photoisomerization of the 11-cis retinal chromophore of rhodopsin to the all-trans conformation initiates a biochemical cascade that closes cGMP-gated channels and hyperpolarizes the cell. All-trans retinal is reduced to retinol and then removed to the pigment epithelium. The pig...
