Parameters tested for single cell recordings in WT, calmodulin-binding site deletion mice (CaMΔ), and GCAP1 and GCAP2 knockout mice (GCAP−/−). Rmax is the maximum dark-adapted circulating current. I1/2 is the number of activated rhodopsin molecules sufficient to elicit a half-maximal response. It measures integration time of the rods to dim flashes. S(f) represents flash sensitivity in pA/activated rhodopsin. τD is a measure of the dominant time constant of recovery, measured at 75% of maximal response. All measures are mean ±1 SEM.
