Summary: Predicted to enable G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity and identical protein binding 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 and signal transduction. Located in photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in eye; photoreceptor layer; photoreceptor layer outer segment; retina; and retina outer nuclear layer. Used to study blue cone monochromacy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in blue cone monochromacy and red color blindness. Orthologous to several human genes including OPN1LW (opsin 1, long wave sensitive) and OPN1MW2 (opsin 1, medium wave sensitive 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

quantitative FRET analysis in acutely isolated cone OS revealed that the cone degeneration-causing V268I mutation in peripherin-2 selectively reduced binding to M-opsin without affecting the peripherin-2 interaction to S-opsin or rhodopsin

Here, the creation and validation of two lines of genetically engineered mice that can be used to study disease-causing variants of human L/M-opsins, in vivo, are described.

Luciferase expression driven by the midwavelength sensitive opsin intron 3-4 region was only slightly increased by THRB2, and rather enhanced by COUP-TFII.

ectopically expressed cTalpha 1) forms a heterotrimeric complex with rod Gbeta(1)gamma(1), and substitutes equally for rTalpha in generating photoresponses initiated by either rhodopsin or S-cone opsin

alpha transducin and opsin have roles in mouse photoreceptor cell responses to light and dark

results show that UV-opsin suppression successively ceases in presence of the M-opsin activating background light, which implies that cone light adaptation is controlled at the opsin stage, before activation of transducin.
Title: Co-expression of murine opsins facilitates identifying the site of cone adaptation.
Thus, the three types of mouse opsin appear distinctive in the degree to which their bleached, unregenerated opsins generate "dark light."

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
