Gene information for OPN5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID221391
Official gene symbolOPN5
Full nameopsin 5
Aliases,NEUROPSIN,PGR12,TMEM13,
Gene summaryOpsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor superfamily. This opsin gene is expressed in the eye, brain, testes, and spinal cord. This gene belongs to the seven-exon subfamily of mammalian opsin genes that includes peropsin (RRH) and retinal G protein coupled receptor (RGR). Like these other seven-exon opsin genes, this family member may encode a protein with photoisomerase activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
