Phosducin family
The outer and inner segments of vertebrate retina rod photoreceptor cells contain phosducin, a soluble phosphoprotein that complexes with the beta/gamma-subunits of the guanosine triphosphate-binding protein, transducin. Light-induced changes in cyclic nucleotide levels modulate the phosphorylation of phosducin by protein kinase A.[1] The protein is thought to participate in the regulation of visual phototransduction or in the integration of photoreceptor metabolism. Similar proteins have been isolated from the pineal gland and it is believed that the function of the protein is the same in both retina and pineal gland.[2]

gollark: Anyway, I was thinking about an ABR game where you have to submit a (fixed, real, base 10) integer (or maybe floating point, whatever) which is as close as possible to 80% of the average of all people's picks.
gollark: Added to your alphabetical profile.
gollark: Apiochronoforms working as intended.
