Evolution of Mammalian Opn5 as a Specialized UV-absorbing Pigment by a Single Amino Acid Mutation

Opn5 is one of the recently identified opsin groups that is responsible for nonvisual photoreception in animals. We previously showed that a chicken homolog of mammalian Opn5 (Opn5m) is a G(i)-coupled UV sensor having molecular properties typical of bistable pigments. Here we demonstrated that mamma...
