OPN5: Species distribution, Phylogeny & Function

Opsin-5, also known as G-protein coupled receptor 136 or neuropsin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OPN5 gene. Opsin-5 is a member of the opsin subfamily of the G protein-coupled receptors. It is a photoreceptor protein sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. The OPN5 gene was discovered in mouse and human genomes and its mRNA expression was…
