epitope corresponding to amino acids 379-478 mapping at the C-terminus of melanopsin of human origin
Modification Notes
G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) contain seven transmembrane helices and elicit G protein-mediated signaling cascades. The opsin family represents approximately 90 percent of all GPCRs and includes red, green, and blue-sensitive opsins, rhodopsin and melanopsin. Opsins consist of an apoprotein covalently linked to 11-cis-retinal that undergoes isomerization upon photon absorption. The photon-induced conformation change of opsin activates hundreds of G proteins. Mammalian melanopsin expression selectively occurs in the inner retina and not in the photoreceptor cells critical for vision. Melanopsin plays a nonessential role in the transduction of photic stimuli for light/dark entrainment.
