Calcium Extrusion from Mammalian Photoreceptor Terminals

Ribbon synapses of vertebrate photoreceptors constantly release glutamate in darkness. Transmitter release is maintained by a steady influx of calcium through voltage-dependent calcium channels, implying the presence of a mechanism that is able to extrude calcium at an equal rate. The two predominan...
