| One of the photointermediates interacts with the G protein, resulting in the electrical excitation of a photoreceptor cell. |
| The transport of opsin to the outer segment of photoreceptor cells seems especially critical for viability of these cells. |
| Like the photoreceptor mutants they all showed a response comparable to the wild type. |
| Moreover, it has been suggested that some of the reported blue-UV effects may have resulted from phytochrome instead of blue-UV photoreceptor action. |
| The retina of the compound eye is organized into approximately 3000 functional units or ommatidia, each containing eight photoreceptor cells. |
| It is being developed as a photoreceptor, to convert light into electricity. |
