Synaptic transmission in the retina
Curr Opin Neurobiol.
1991 Aug.
Abstract
A recent highlight in the study of the retina has been the publication of evidence that the response of the ON bipolar cells is generated by a cGMP-mediated second messenger system. This GTP-binding protein mechanism is activated by the binding of glutamate, the photoreceptor neurotransmitter, to the 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (APB) class of receptor.
