Summary
This review characterizes the expression of calcium-binding buffer proteins (parvalbumin, calretinin, calbindin) across human and mouse retinal neurons, providing a framework for understanding calcium regulation in photoreceptors, interneurons, and ganglion cells. While primarily a basic science review, the findings are relevant to understanding retinal cell vulnerability and potential mechanisms underlying light-induced or degenerative damage to retinal neurons.
