Examples of opsin
opsin
But in most new-world monkeys there is only one opsin gene on the X chromosome.
From the economist.com
You need two X chromosome with a slight variation of gene between two for the opsin.
From the newscientist.com
These include the gene coding for opsin, a protein that is key to all animal vision.
From the newscientist.com
The red opsin gene was carried on a standard virus used for gene therapy experiments.
From the stltoday.com
Let's say it reacts to orange light as our MW opsin reacts to green light.
From the newscientist.com
It was somewhat surprising that the monkeys'brains could take advantage of a third opsin.
From the stltoday.com
In apes, trichromacy resulted from true duplication of the opsin gene.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Eventually we could consider someone whose MW opsin is very different.

Crystal structure of opsin in its G-protein-interacting conformation.
From the nature.com
- Retinal protein formed by the action of light on rhodopsin
- Opsins are a group of light-sensitive 35-55 kDa membrane-bound G protein-coupled receptors of the retinylidene protein family found in photoreceptor cells of the retina. ...
- (opsins) Proteins in photoreceptors that absorb light (in humans, rhodopsin and the three specialized cone opsins).
- (opsins) Molecules in cone cells that bind to pigments, creating a complex that is sensitive to light of a given wavelength.
- The protein component of a photopigment. Different opsins give rise to photopigments with different spectral absorption characteristics and consequently account for the differences in spectral sensitivity of the various photoreceptor types. (See chromophore.)
- A protein that is found in the retina of the eye. It is joined to a form of vitamin A to make rhodopsin.
- A membrane protein bonded to a lightabsorbing pigment molecule.
- Protein portion of the visual pigment of rod cells.
