Words similar to photoreceptor
Example sentences for: photoreceptor
How can you use “photoreceptor” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Increases in PPARγ in RPE cells may be important for handling the lipids generated during the phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments [ 24 ] . Since RPE cells generate large amounts of H 2 O 2 during the phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments, there is a possibility that activation of PPARγ may assist in defending the oxidative stress associated with phagocytosis.
Although RGCs are generally accepted to be the major cell type affected in human glaucoma, and to our knowledge INL and photoreceptor cell loss similar to that in AKXD28 has not been reported, there is evidence for INL and photoreceptor cell involvement in some human and monkey cases [ 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43].
A PAS domain has been reported in the transcription factor PIF3 from Arabidopsis, which interacts with a phytochrome photoreceptor and transduces light signals to photoresponsive plant genes [ 44].
To determine if the expression of the NMDA receptor and/or its composition was altered as a result of rod photoreceptor ablation, immunoblots were analyzed for the NR1 (Figure 2A), the NR2A (Figure 2B) and the NR2B (Figure 2C) subunits.
We previously employed luc reporting to study the effects of a cryptochrome mutation ( cry b ), concentrating on clock gene expression in isolated antennal pairs from Drosophila [ 23 ] . Earlier studies established that cry encodes a 'deep-brain' element of the photoreceptive pathway to the circadian clock [ 24 25 26 ] . But our study suggested a different role for cry in the periphery, because antennal rhythmicity in mutant specimens was dramatically reduced in constant darkness [ 23 ] , an effect that is not consistent with the idea that the encoded protein (CRY) functions solely as a photoreceptor for the circadian system [ 24 25 ] .
