Reaction: cGMP binds CNG channel to form cGMP:CNG channel

- in pathway: Inactivation, recovery and regulation of the phototransduction cascade
Once cGMP concentration is restored to "dark" levels, it binds cooperatively to the cGMP-gated cation channel (CNG channel), inducing opening through a conformational change in the channel (open status designated as cGMP:CNG channel here) (Chen et al 1993, Dhallan et al. 1992).
