Gene information for OPN3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23596
Official gene symbolOPN3
Full nameopsin 3
Aliases,ECPN,
Gene summaryOpsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor superfamily. In addition to the visual opsins, mammals possess several photoreceptive non-visual opsins that are expressed in extraocular tissues. This gene, opsin 3, is strongly expressed in brain and testis and weakly expressed in liver, placenta, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas. The gene may also be expressed in the retina. The protein has the canonical features of a photoreceptive opsin protein. [provided by RefSeq]
