Opsins are members of the rhodopsin G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) family that mediate phototransduction in both invertebrates and vertebrates. More specifically, humans have nine types …
The mammalian opsin family of light-sensitive G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) includes retinal pigments like rhodopsin (OPN2) and cone opsins (OPN1), which mediate vision, as well …
