title: [Light inhibits tyrosine kinase in rod outer segments in vitro].
abstract: It was shown that short-term (10 min) light exposure of dark-adapted retinal rod outer segments (ROS) leads to a threefold inhibition of the tyrosine kinase activity. Tyrosine kinase activity in the ROS from bleached retinas is by 30% lower than in the dark-adapted ROS. Prolonged illumination (60 min) of the dark-adapted ROS restores the tyrosine kinase activity to the level of ROS from the bleached retinas.
