Term Name: | negative regulation of phospholipase C-activating phototransduction signaling pathway |
---|---|
Synonyms: | metarhodopsin inactivation |
Definition: | Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of phospholipase C-activating phototransduction signaling pathway. Activated rhodopsin (R*) is inactivated by a two-step process: first, R* is phosphorylated by rhodopsin kinase which lowers the activity of R*. Second, the protein arrestin binds to phosphorylated R* to de-activate it. |
