G protein-coupled opsin signaling pathway

Term ID

GO:0016056

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. (2)
