Target Background

Function(From Uniprot)
Visual pigments are the light-absorbing molecules that mediate vision. They consist of an apoprotein, opsin, covalently linked to cis-retinal. Required for the maintenance of cone outer segment organization in the ventral retina, but not essential for the maintenance of functioning cone photoreceptors. Involved in ensuring correct abundance and localization of retinal membrane proteins. May increase spectral sensitivity in dim light.
Gene References into Functions
  1. LVAVA haplotype of the OPN1LW gene and MVAVA haplotype of the OPN1MW gene cause apparently nonsyndromic high myopia in young patients but lead to progressive cone-rod dystrophy with deuteranopia and protanopia in middle-aged patients corresponding to a previously unknown disease course. PMID:28358949
  2. Data suggest that insights into dimerization interface of red cone opsin should aid investigations of the structure and function of GPCR cell signaling. PMID:28045251
  3. A novel homozygous PDE6C mutation was identified as the cause of ACHM. In addition, we identified an OPN1SW mutation in the sibling with complete achromatopsia. PMID:25605338
  4. Individuals with the T190I S-opsin mutation behaved as mild tritans at 12.3-92.3Td, but as tritanopes at 1.2-9.2Td, for both light-adapted and dark-adapted conditions. The results are consistent with the mutant opsin causing abnormal S-cone function. PMID:23022137
  5. A novel mutation(prolin/leucine) in the short-wavelength-sensitive cone pigment gene associated with a tritan color vision defect. PMID:16961973
  6. Results show that, although light absorption behaves differently in blue, green and red opsins, their low-frequency vibrational motions are similar. PMID:19189139
  7. 11-cis-retinol had no significant effect on the activity of human blue cone opsin PMID:19386593
  8. Immunoreactivity to anti-OPN1SW antibodies was seen in the upper layer of human epidermis & reconstructed skin. The opsin mRNA was seen in total RNA from human skin. Neither immunoreactivity nor mRNA expression was seen in cultured human keratinocytes. PMID:19493002

Subcellular Location
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Photoreceptor inner segment. Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region.
Protein Families
G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, Opsin subfamily
Tissue Specificity
The three color pigments are found in the cone photoreceptor cells. Expressed throughout the epidermis and dermis, primarily in the stratum granulosum in the facial and abdominal skin (at protein level). Expressed in dermal fibroblasts (at protein level).
