OPSD_HUMAN |
| Specificity: |
Specific for Rhodopsin. |
| Immunogen: |
A synthetic peptide from human Rhodopsin conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in mouse and rat. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated on some or all of the serine and threonine residues present in the C-terminal region. After activation by light, phosphorylated by GRK1 (in vitro). Contains one covalently linked retinal chromophore. Upon light absorption, the covalently bound 11-cis-retinal is converted to all-trans-retinal. After hydrolysis of the Schiff base and release of the covalently bound all-trans-retinal, active rhodopsin is regenerated by binding of a fresh molecule of 11-cis-retinal. |
| Function | Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth. Light-induced isomerization of the chromophore 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins. Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling. |
