Difference between Photoreceptor protein and Visual phototransduction

Photoreceptor protein vs. Visual phototransduction

Photoreceptor proteins are light-sensitive proteins involved in the sensing and response to light in a variety of organisms. Visual phototransduction is the sensory transduction of the visual system.

Similarities between Photoreceptor protein and Visual phototransduction

Photoreceptor protein and Visual phototransduction have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cone cell, Photoreceptor cell, Protein, Retina, Retinal, Retinylidene protein, Rhodopsin, Rod cell, Signal transduction.

Cone cell

Cone cells, or cones, are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of mammalian eyes (e.g. the human eye).

Photoreceptor cell

A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Retinal

Retinal is also known as retinaldehyde.

Retinylidene protein

Retinylidene protein, is a family of proteins that use retinal as a chromophore for light reception.

Rhodopsin

Rhodopsin (also known as visual purple) is a light-sensitive receptor protein involved in visual phototransduction.

Rod cell

Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells.

Signal transduction

Signal transduction is the process by which a chemical or physical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events, most commonly protein phosphorylation catalyzed by protein kinases, which ultimately results in a cellular response.
