Cationic modulation of rho 1-type gamma-aminobutyrate receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes.

abstract：:Cones show briefer light responses than rods and do not saturate even under very bright light. Using purified rod and cone homogenates, we measured the activity of guanylate cyclase (GC), an enzyme responsible for cGMP synthesis and therefore recovery of a light response. The basal GC activity was 36 times higher in c...
