General Information
Term regulation of membrane potential in photoreceptor cell ID (Ontology) GO:0016057 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Hyperpolarization (vertebrates) or depolarization (invertebrates) of the photoreceptor cell membrane via closing/opening of cation specific channels as a result of signals generated by rhodopsin activation by a photon.
Also Known As "changes in polarization state of photoreceptor cell membrane"
