Probing further, the authors
of the study also revealed that Aipl1 is critical for the stability
of two enzymes — the cGMP - phosphodiesterase 6 and the guanylate cyclase — which mediate
phototransduction, the process
of converting light into an electrical signal.

ERGs not only indicate the presence
of mature retinal cells, but also demonstrate that light enters the eye appropriately,
phototransduction takes place, synapses form between retinal neurons, and synaptic transmission is functional within the eye.
Light perception takes place in the cone and rod photoreceptor cells
of the retina, a structure at the back
of the eye, through a set
of proteins denominated
phototransduction cascade proteins.
