Impact of studies of the Drosophila norpA mutation on understanding phototransduction

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Studies of the norpA mutation have significantly contributed to understanding the molecular and biochemical basis of phototransduction in Drosophila. Historical milestones in the study of the norpA mutation are reviewed and a contemporary model of the role of the NORPA protein in vision is presented. Questions awaiting further investigations are discussed.
