Non-image-forming functional roles of OPN3, OPN4 and OPN5 photopigments
Detecting different wavelengths and intensities of environmental light is crucial for the survival of many animals. In response, a multiplicity of opsins (a special group of photosensitive G protein-coupled receptors), when combined with a retinal chromophore, is able to directly detect light and in...
