A membrane-bounded compartment that is found at the base of the rhabdomere and contains stored calcium, InsP3 receptors and smooth endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding the rhabdomere. Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. A prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. The specialized microvillar organelle on the apical surfaces of a photoreceptor cell containing the visual pigment rhodopsin and most of the proteins involved in phototransduction. A complex of proteins that are involved in phototransduction and attached to the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel. The protein connections are mediated through inaD.
