Abstract

cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling stimulates neuritic sprouting by adult rod cells in vitro. This signaling is initiated by opsin if the protein is mislocalized to the plasmalemma of the inner segment. Thus, in retinal disease, activation of mislocalized opsin may contribute to aberrant sprouting by rod cells.
