Evolution and functional characterisation of melanopsins in a deep-sea chimaera (elephant shark, Callorhinchus milii)

Non-visual photoreception in mammals is primarily mediated by two splice variants that derive from a single melanopsin (OPN4M) gene, whose expression is restricted to a subset of retinal ganglion cells.
