Signal Transduction in Photoreceptor Cells: Proceedings of an International Workshop Held at the Research Centre Julich, Julich, Fed. Rep. of Germany, 8-11 August 1990 (1st edition.)

This book deals with the mechanism of signal transduction in vertebrate and invertebrate photoreceptors.

It contains contributions on the structure and function of rhodopsin or other G-coupled receptors, on the regulation of second messengers by enzyme cascade, the role of Ca2+ in light adaptation, control of ionic channels in photoreceptor cells.
