Official Full Name: opsin 3
Also known as: ECPN; PPP1R116
Opsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor superfamily. In addition to opsins, mammals possess several photosensitive non-opsins that are expressed in extraocular tissues. The gene, called opsin 3, is strongly expressed in the brain and testes, and weakly expressed in the liver, placenta, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. This gene may also be expressed in the retina. This protein has typical features of photoreceptor opsins.
