When light is absorbed by the GPCR rhodopsin in rod cells, it gets activated due to change in
conformation of its protein moiety opsin. The inactive trimeric G protein transducin now binds to
the activated opsin and gets converted to the GTP bound form which causes the G
?t
subunit to
dissociate from the ?? subunits. The G
?t
subunit activates phosphodiesterase which converts
cGMP to GMP. Decrease in cGMP concentration closes the cGMP-gated ion channels in the plasma
membrane to close, resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane. In this GPCR signalling
cascade the effector molecule is:

When light is absorbed by the GPCR rhodopsin in rod cells, it gets activated due to change in
conformation of its protein moiety opsin. The inactive trimeric G protein transducin now binds to
the activated opsin and gets converted to the GTP bound form which causes the G
?t
subunit to
dissociate from the ?? subunits. The G
?t
subunit activates phosphodiesterase which converts
cGMP to GMP. Decrease in cGMP concentration closes the cGMP-gated ion channels in the plasma
membrane to close, resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane. In this GPCR signalling
cascade the effector molecule is:

When light is absorbed by the GPCR rhodopsin in rod cells, it gets activated due to change in
conformation of its protein moiety opsin. The inactive trimeric G protein transducin now binds to
the activated opsin and gets converted to the GTP bound form which causes the G
?t
subunit to
dissociate from the ?? subunits. The G
?t
subunit activates phosphodiesterase which converts
cGMP to GMP. Decrease in cGMP concentration closes the cGMP-gated ion channels in the plasma
membrane to close, resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane. In this GPCR signalling
cascade the effector molecule is:

When light is absorbed by the GPCR rhodopsin in rod cells, it gets activated due to change in
conformation of its protein moiety opsin. The inactive trimeric G protein transducin now binds to
the activated opsin and gets converted to the GTP bound form which causes the G
?t
subunit to
dissociate from the ?? subunits. The G
?t
subunit activates phosphodiesterase which converts
cGMP to GMP. Decrease in cGMP concentration closes the cGMP-gated ion channels in the plasma
membrane to close, resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane. In this GPCR signalling
cascade the effector molecule is:

When light is absorbed by the GPCR rhodopsin in rod cells, it gets activated due to change in
conformation of its protein moiety opsin. The inactive trimeric G protein transducin now binds to
the activated opsin and gets converted to the GTP bound form which causes the G
?t
subunit to
dissociate from the ?? subunits. The G
?t
subunit activates phosphodiesterase which converts
cGMP to GMP. Decrease in cGMP concentration closes the cGMP-gated ion channels in the plasma
membrane to close, resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane. In this GPCR signalling
cascade the effector molecule is:

When light is absorbed by the GPCR rhodopsin in rod cells, it gets activated due to change in
conformation of its protein moiety opsin. The inactive trimeric G protein transducin now binds to
the activated opsin and gets converted to the GTP bound form which causes the G
?t
subunit to
dissociate from the ?? subunits. The G
?t
subunit activates phosphodiesterase which converts
cGMP to GMP. Decrease in cGMP concentration closes the cGMP-gated ion channels in the plasma
membrane to close, resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane. In this GPCR signalling
cascade the effector molecule is:

When light is absorbed by the GPCR rhodopsin in rod cells, it gets activated due to change in
conformation of its protein moiety opsin. The inactive trimeric G protein transducin now binds to
the activated opsin and gets converted to the GTP bound form which causes the G
?t
subunit to
dissociate from the ?? subunits. The G
?t
subunit activates phosphodiesterase which converts
cGMP to GMP. Decrease in cGMP concentration closes the cGMP-gated ion channels in the plasma
membrane to close, resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane. In this GPCR signalling
cascade the effector molecule is:
