OPN1SW - opsin 1, short wave sensitive Gene
Also Known as BCP; BOP; CBT
Species: Homo sapiens
About OPN1SW
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 177 orthologues, 9 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 1.6), appendix (RPKM 1.4) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, opsin subfamily. It encodes the blue cone pigment gene which is one of three types of cone photoreceptors responsible for normal color vision. Defects in this gene are the cause of tritan color blindness (tritanopia). Affected individuals lack blue and yellow sensory mechanisms while retaining those for red and green. Defective blue vision is characteristic. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
