Studies of the norpA mutation have significantly contributed to understanding the molecular and biochemical basis of phototransduction in Drosophila. Historical milestones in the study of the norpA mutation are reviewed and a contemporary model of the role of the NORPA protein in vision is presented. Questions awaiting further investigations are discussed.
