cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit beta 3

The CNGB3 gene provides instructions for making one part (the beta subunit) of the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel. These channels are found exclusively in light-sensing (photoreceptor) cells called cones, which are located in a specialized tissue at the back of the eye (retina). Cones provide colour vision and vision in bright light (daytime vision). Other photoreceptor cells, called rods, provide vision in low light (night vision).

Normal function

The CNGB3 gene provides instructions for making one part (the beta subunit) of the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel. These channels are found exclusively in light-sensing (photoreceptor) cells called cones, which are located in a specialized tissue at the back of the eye (retina). Cones provide colour vision and vision in bright light (daytime vision). Other photoreceptor cells, called rods, provide vision in low light (night vision).

CNG channels are openings in the cell membrane that transport positively charged atoms (ions) into cells. The CNG channels in cones remain open in low light, allowing ions to flow in. When light enters the eye, these channels close, stopping the flow of ions. This change in ion transport alters the cone's electrical charge, which ultimately generates a signal. This signal is sent to the brain, where it combines with other visual information and is interpreted as vision. The process of translating light into an electrical signal is called phototransduction.

Bisoprolol may cause the airways to narrow, making it harder to breathe and potentially triggering asthma or COPD symptoms. It also makes the formoterol in the Trimbow inhaler less effective at opening your airways. Why this happens Bisoprolol é a 'beta-blocker' and formoterol (in Trimbow) is a 'beta-agonist'. They compete for the same receptors.
