Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| text | Photoreceptors contain visual pigments. When a visual pigment absorbs light, the rhodopsin becomes activated. It can then activate transducin which dissociates. The alpha subunit then activates PDE. Activated PDE hydrolyzes cGMP. This decrease in cGMP causes the cGMP gated ion channels to close. Closure of the cGMP gated ion channels prevents Ca+2 from entering the cell. This causes the Ca+2 levels to drop. The cell then hyperpolarizes. This leads to a decrease in neurotransmitter release at the photoreceptor synapses. |
