Molecular and functional identification of a novel photopigment in Pecten ciliary photoreceptors

The two basic animal photoreceptor types, ciliary and microvillar, use different light-transduction schemes: their photopigments couple to G versus G proteins, respectively, to either mobilize cyclic nucleotides or trigger a lipid signaling cascade. A third class of photoreceptors has been described...
