Co-expression of xenopsin and rhabdomeric opsin in photoreceptors bearing microvilli and cilia

Ciliary and rhabdomeric opsins are employed by different kinds of photoreceptor cells, such as ciliary vertebrate rods and cones or protostome microvillar eye photoreceptors, that have specialized structures and molecular physiologies. We report unprecedented cellular co-expression of rhabdomeric op...
