Abstract:Opsins, the protein moieties of animal visual photo-pigments, have emerged as moonlighting proteins with diverse, light-dependent and -independent physiological functions. This raises the need to revise some basic assumptions concerning opsin expression, structure, classification, and evolution.
Keywords:sensory transduction   photosensitivity   vision   moonlighting proteins   G protein-coupled receptors   sensory cell evolution
