dephosphorylation during bleach and regeneration of visual pigment in carp rod and cone membranes.	on absorption of light by vertebrate visual pigment, the chromophore, 11-cis retinal, is isomerized to all-trans retinal to activate the phototransduction cascade, which leads to a hyperpolarizing light response. activated pigment is inactivated by phosphorylation on the protein moiety, opsin. isomerized all-trans retinal is ultimately released from opsin, and the pigment is regenerated by binding to 11-cis retinal. in this pigment regeneration cycle, the phosphates incorporated should be remove ...	2015	26286749
