Unveiling novel components of the protein complex responsible for cGMP synthesis in retinal photoreceptors: role in cell physiology and disease 

López Begines, Santiago (Date of defense: 2016-11-18)

In photoreceptor cells of the retina, light triggers a protein G-mediated enzymatic cascade that leads to hydrolysis of cGMP. The drop in cGMP levels causes the closure of cGMP-channel at the plasma membrane, decreasing ...
