Opn3 - opsin 3 Gene

Predicted to enable 11-cis retinal binding activity; G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity; and all-trans retinal binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to UV-A; positive regulation of glucose import; and regulation of melanin biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human OPN3 (opsin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
