Background Information
OPN4, an opsin that was first isolated from the skin of Xenopus laevis in 1998, belongs not to the vertebrate-type opsin family but rather to the invertebrate-type opsins, which are part of the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family (PMID:31989708). In humans, OPN4 is expressed in the retinal ganglion cells in addition to part of the brain (PMID:10632589). Moreover, Opn4 functions as a photoreceptor by detecting brightness levels and discriminating visual signals (PMID:22633808). Opn4 also facilitates visual circuits to acquire optimal settings and light adaptation by measuring irradiance levels (PMID:25517373).
