Abstract
The identification of additional subunits of the cGMP-gated cation cha nnel suggests exciting questions about their regulatory roles and abou t structure/functional relationships. How do the different subunits in teract? How is the complex assembled into the plasma membrane? Divalen t cations have been implicated in the regulation of adaptation. One of ten overlooked cation is magnesium. Could this ion play a role in phot otransduction?
