An all-trans-retinal-binding opsin peropsin as a potential dark-active and light-inactivated G protein-coupled receptor
Abstract Peropsin or retinal pigment epithelium-derived rhodopsin homolog, found in many animals, belongs to the opsin family. Most opsins bind to 11-cis-retinal as a chromophore and act as light-activated G protein-coupled receptors. Some peropsins, however, bind all-trans-retinal and isomerise it...
