Summary: Predicted to enable G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to UV-A; and phototransduction. Located in cone photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and liver and biliary system.

True S-cones are concentrated in the ventral mouse retina and wired for color detection in the upper visual field.
Title: True S-cones are concentrated in the ventral mouse retina and wired for color detection in the upper visual field.
These findings indicate that the aggregation of S-opsin induced by exposure to blue -emitting diode light causes endoplasmic reticulum stress, and ATF4 activation in particular.

quantitative FRET analysis in acutely isolated cone OS revealed that the cone degeneration-causing V268I mutation in peripherin-2 selectively reduced binding to M-opsin without affecting the peripherin-2 interaction to S-opsin or rhodopsin

Deletion of one allele of S-opsin from Lrat(-) (/-) mice (model of Leber congenital amaurosis) is sufficient to prevent rapid cone degeneration for at least 1 month. Deletion of both alleles of S-opsin prevents cone degeneration for at least 12 months.
Title: Genetic deletion of S-opsin prevents rapid cone degeneration in a mouse model of Leber congenital amaurosis.
TR beta 2 and S opsin are expressed in cone photoreceptors only. Both are transcribed by E13, and their levels increase with cone genesis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
