hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Whole cell patch clamp recordings of P{Rh1+4}; ninaE17 photoreceptors demonstrates light-dependent changes in intracellular calcium result from the influx of external calcium. Application of thapsigargin results in a steady increase of intracellular calcium (demonstrating the existance of IP3-sensitive stores of calcium). Even after complete depletion of calcium the light response is not abolished. Instead the rise in intracellular calcium is associated with a partial desensitisation (adaptation) of the electrical response. There is no functional link between average intracellular calcium and adaptation recovery mechanisms. Localised intracellular calcium drives aspects of photoreceptor cell regulation.
