Maintenance of Rhodopsin levels in Drosophila photoreceptor and phototransduction requires Protein Kinase D

During Drosophila phototransduction, the G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) Rhodopsin (Rh1) transduces photon absorption into electrical signal via G-protein coupled activation of phospholipase C (PLC). Rh1 levels in the plasma membrane are critical for normal sensitivity to light. In this study, we...
