Insights on the regulation of the cgmp-gated channel by ca++/calmodulin and on the phosphorylation of the b-subunit by a ckII-like protein kinase

In vertebrate rod photoreceptors, the cGMP-gated channel plays a crucial role by transducing light-induced changes in cGMP into electrical impulses. Regulation of rod cGMPgated channels by phosphorylation and Ca²⁺/calmodulin has been examined here. The activity of a protein kinase responsible for...
