| Background | Predicted to enable G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to light stimulus; and phototransduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein-chromophore linkage; signal transduction; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; endocrine system; heart; photoreceptor cell; and visual system. Human ortholog (s) of this gene implicated in blue color blindness. Orthologous to human OPN1SW (opsin 1, short wave sensitive). |
