Calcium homeostasis and cone signaling are regulated by interactions between calcium stores and plasma membrane ion channels.

Calcium homeostasis and cone signaling are regulated by interactions between calcium stores and plasma membrane ion channels.

Calcium is a messenger ion that controls all aspects of cone photoreceptor function, including synaptic release. The dynamic range of the cone output extends beyond the activation threshold for voltage-operated calcium entry, suggesting another calcium influx mechanism operates in cones hyperpolariz...
