Selective expression of human X chromosome-linked green opsin genes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Oct 1992

Winderickx J, Battisti L, Motulsky A G, Deeb S S

Abstract excerpt

The human red and green photopigments are specified by genes on the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq28). In individuals with normal color vision, the locus was proposed to consist of a single red pigment gene upstream of one or more copies of green pigment genes. The presence of a single red pigment gene in the array was confirmed by demonstration of only one retinal mRNA transcript coding for the red opsin. In...
