Regulation of rhodopsin-eGFP distribution in transgenic xenopus rod outer segments by light.

Regulation of rhodopsin-eGFP distribution in transgenic xenopus rod outer segments by light.

The rod outer segment (OS), comprised of tightly stacked disk membranes packed with rhodopsin, is in a dynamic equilibrium governed by a diurnal rhythm with newly synthesized membrane inserted at the OS base balancing membrane loss from the distal tip via disk shedding. Using transgenic Xenopus and...
