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. Located in photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in eye. Used to study blue cone monochromacy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in blue cone monochromacy; red color blindness; and red-green color blindness. Orthologous to several human genes including OPN1LW (opsin 1, long wave sensitive). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.

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.
