TRP, TRPL and trouble in photoreceptor cells.
Calcium influx through the TRP and TRPL light-activated channels triggers a complex regulatory hierarchy resulting in positive and negative feedback regulation of the phototransduction cascade. Recent studies have begun to elucidate the function of TRP and TRPL in vivo, and to examine their relationship to intracellular calcium changes during the light response.
