Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Mure et al. (2016) demonstrate that two mechanisms-phosphorylation of a C-terminal intracellular region, and mechanism involving the whole of the C terminus-oppositely shape the kinetics and sensitivity of the nonvisual photoreceptor melanopsin.

Keywords: Melanopsin; intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell; phosphorylation; retina.
