opsin 1, medium wave sensitive

Synonyms:

CBBM, CBD, COD5, GCP, GOP, OPN1MW1, medium-wave-sensitive opsin 1, cone dystrophy 5 (X-linked), green cone photoreceptor pigment, green cone pigment, green-sensitive opsin, opsin 1 (cone pigments), medium-wave-sensitive, photopigment apoprotein

Genomic Location:

Chr X: 153101361-153114725

Description:

This gene encodes for a light absorbing visual pigment of the opsin gene family. The encoded protein is called green cone photopigment or medium-wavelength sensitive opsin. Opsins are G-protein coupled receptors with seven transmembrane domains, an N-terminal extracellular domain, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The long-wavelength opsin gene ...

View Full Description

This gene encodes for a light absorbing visual pigment of the opsin gene family. The encoded protein is called green cone photopigment or medium-wavelength sensitive opsin. Opsins are G-protein coupled receptors with seven transmembrane domains, an N-terminal extracellular domain, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The long-wavelength opsin gene and multiple copies of the medium-wavelength opsin gene are tandemly arrayed on the X chromosome and frequent unequal recombination and gene conversion may occur between these sequences. X chromosomes may have fusions of the medium- and long-wavelength opsin genes or may have more than one copy of these genes. Defects in this gene are the cause of deutanopic colorblindness.
