| Mfsd2a−/− | 9.5 ± 0.4 (45)* | 0.76 ± 0.05 (32) | 217 ± 10.9 (43) | 309 ± 14.2 (44) | 38 ± 2.0 (44) | 0.33 ± 0.03 (33)* | 34.1 ± 2.7 (44) |
Data are shown as mean ± SD with the number of cells analyzed in parentheses. Idark, Circulating dark current; SPR, single-photon response; τrec, dim flash time constant of recovery; Io, flash strength that elicited a half-maximal response; τD, the dominant constant of photoresponse recovery from saturating flashes. *p ≤ 0.05.
