Diversification of non-visual photopigment parapinopsin in spectral sensitivity for diverse pineal functions

BACKGROUND: Recent genome projects of various animals have uncovered an unexpectedly large number of opsin genes, which encode protein moieties of photoreceptor molecules, in most animals. In visual systems, the biological meanings of this diversification are clear; multiple types of visual opsins w...
