Sentence examples for visual cascade from inspiring English sources

In the absence of the RPE65 protein, rod opsin apoprotein triggers light-independent, constitutive activation of the visual cascade resulting in photoreceptor cell loss [10].

In this study we first assessed whether activation of Bcl-2-mediated apoptotic pathway was dependent on constitutive activation of the visual cascade through opsin apoprotein.

Other defects in visual transduction, such as constitutively active mutant opsins [34] [36], mutations in cyclic guanosine monophosphate-gated channel [37] or in retinal guanylate cyclase [38], [39], are associated with photoreceptor dystrophies for which continuous activation of the visual cascade is the most likely explanation for the outcome of the disease.

This was similarly observed in Lrat−/− [17], retinal guanylate cyclase GC1−/− [46], [47] and cone cyclic nucleotide-gated channel Gnga3−/− [48] mice, suggesting that some genetic defects in proteins of the visual cascade may converge at a common degenerative pathway causing cone cell death.

In vertebrates, the first step in the visual cascade are the visual pigments, membrane-spanning protein complexes located in the outer segments of the rod and cone photoreceptor cells of the retina [ 2].

Arranged in staggered layers, these words form handsome visual cascades of meaning that hover, somewhat appropriately, just beyond easy comprehension.

Made using After Effects and Cinema4D and then compressed to GIF form using Photoshop, the visuals cascade before your eyes, twinkling and sucking you in with a variety of colors and hexagonal patterns until you reach some type of visual nirvana (or your eyes go a bit funny).

The chromophore 11-cis-retinal recombines with apoprotein opsin to form rhodopsin, the fight-sensitive receptor of the visual transduction cascade.

Photoactivated rhodopsin then activates a visual signaling cascade through its cognate G protein, transducin or Gt, that results in a neuronal response in the brain.

Photoreceptor cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE6) is the central enzyme in the visual transduction cascade.

The rhodopsin gene encodes a protein of the outer photoreceptor segment that is essential for the visual transduction cascade.
