Opsin-3 also known as encephalopsin or panopsin[5] is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the OPN3 gene.[6][7][8] Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms.[9]

Function

Opsins are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. In addition to the visual opsins, mammals possess several photoreceptive non-visual opsins that are expressed in tissues outside the eye. The opsin-3 gene is strongly expressed in brain and testis and weakly expressed in liver, placenta, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas. The gene is expressed in the skin[9] and may also be expressed in the retina. The protein has the canonical features of a photoreceptive opsin protein.[8]
