Rhodopsin Expression Level Affects Rod Outer Segment Morphology and Photoresponse Kinetics

BACKGROUND: The retinal rod outer segment is a sensory cilium that is specialized for the conversion of light into an electrical signal. Within the cilium, up to several thousand membranous disks contain as many as a billion copies of rhodopsin for efficient photon capture. Disks are continually tur...
