关于 OPN5

功能概要

视蛋白是鸟嘌呤核苷酸结合蛋白 (G 蛋白) 偶联受体超家族的成员。这种视蛋白基因在眼睛、大脑、睾丸和脊髓中表达。该基因属于哺乳动物视蛋白基因的七外显子亚家族，包括视蛋白 (RRH) 和视网膜 G 蛋白偶联受体 (RGR) 。与这些其他七外显子视蛋白基因一样，该家族成员可能编码具有光异构酶活性的蛋白质。可变剪接导致多个转录本变体。[RefSeq 提供，2010 年 6 月]

Opsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor superfamily. This opsin gene is expressed in the eye, brain, testes, and spinal cord. This gene belongs to the seven-exon subfamily of mammalian opsin genes that includes peropsin (RRH) and retinal G protein coupled receptor (RGR). Like these Other seven-exon opsin genes, this family member may encode a protein with photoisomerase activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
