About OPN3

Cytogenetic location: 1q43 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:241,593,124-241,640,369 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 193 orthologues and 9 paralogues. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 19.5), lung (RPKM 11.0) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

Opsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor superfamily. In addition to the visual opsins, mammals possess several photoreceptive non-visual opsins that are expressed in extraocular tissues. This gene, opsin 3, is strongly expressed in brain and testis and weakly expressed in liver, placenta, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas. The gene may also be expressed in the retina. The protein has the canonical features of a photoreceptive opsin protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
