The mechanisms by which Ca2+ regulates light adaptation in microvillar photoreceptors remain poorly understood. Protein kinase C (PKC) is a likely candidate, both because some sub‐types are activated by Ca2+ and because of its association with the macromolecular ‘light‐transduction complex’ in Drosophila. We investigat... |
