A role for the sodium pump in photoreception in Limulus

T G Smith et al. Science. .

Abstract

The membranes of photoreceptor cells in Limulus have an electrogenic sodium pump which contributes directly to membrane potential and whose activity is changed by light. These light-induced changes in pump activity underlie the receptor potential.
