These structures house the (*) purple protein rhodopsin.
One protein that is located within these structures binds intracellularly to the Gt GPCR, which causes hyperpolarization of the cell. The activity of that protein in these structures is attenuated by arrestin when it has been activated for too long, and that protein in these structures has a molecule of 11-cis retinol, which is derived from Vitamin A. These structures house the (*) purple protein rhodopsin. The ganglia of these structures are affected in Leber's Hereditary Neuropathy, and Tay-Sachs disease causes the development of a "cherry red spot" on these structures. These structures contain especially sensitive macula and fovea regions. For 10 points, name this layer which contains rod and cone cells and is located at the back of the eye.
