TL;DR: The quantitative analysis suggests that the proposed catalog of 11 cone bipolar cells and one rod bipolar cell is complete, and all major bipolar cell types of the mouse retina appear to have been discovered.

TL;DR: The cloning and functional expression of a novel CNG channel from bovine testis was functionally localized in sperm, but is also specifically expressed in cone photoreceptor cells, and might be involved in chemotaxis of sperm by controlling Ca2+ entry through a cyclic-nucleotide signalling pathway.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the native CNG channel in OSNs is composed of all three subunits, and that CNG channels in both rod photoreceptors and olfactory sensory neurons result from coassembly of specific α subunits with various forms of an alternatively spliced β subunit.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated by peptide sequencing and by cloning and functional expression of cDNA that the 240 kDa protein represents the complete beta subunit with an unusual bipartite structure.

TL;DR: Chicken rod and cone cells each express different forms of cGMP-gated channels that are genetically related to each other, which indicates that channels in outer segment membranes are present in a processed form that is significantly shorter than the full-length polypeptide.
