Term Name: G protein-coupled opsin signaling pathway
Synonyms: G protein-mediated opsin signaling pathway, rhodopsin mediated phototransduction, rhodopsin mediated signaling pathway, rhodopsin mediated signalling pathway, rhodopsin signaling
Definition: A G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway that starts with an opsin being activated by a photon, and ending with the light signal being trasmitted through the synapses. The signal can be transmitted via different Galpha subunits types: Go, Gs, Gq, and Gt.
