G Protein Signaling Mechanisms in the Retina

G Protein Signaling Mechanisms in the Retina edited by Kirill A. Martemyanov, Alapakkam P. Sampath.

We have learned a great deal about the organization and function of GPCR pathways, and the role that they play in vision. The information gained from these studies has provided, and will continue to provide, critical insights to further our understanding of complex GPCR pathways in the central nervo...
