Transducin
Transducin (G) is a protein naturally expressed in vertebrate retina rods and cones and it is very important in vertebrate phototransduction. It is a type of heterotrimeric G-protein with different α subunits in rod and cone photoreceptors.

Transducin is deactivated when the α-subunit-bound GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP. This process is accelerated by a complex containing an RGS ("Regulator of G-protein signaling")-protein and the gamma-subunit of the effector, cyclic GMP Phosphodiesterase.
