Molecular basis for ultraviolet vision in invertebrates.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 26 Nov 2003

Salcedo Ernesto, Zheng Lijun, Phistry Meridee, Bagg Eve E, Britt Steven G

Abstract excerpt

Invertebrates are sensitive to a broad spectrum of light that ranges from UV to red. Color sensitivity in the UV plays an important role in foraging, navigation, and mate selection in both flying and terrestrial invertebrate animals. Here, we show that a single amino acid polymorphism is responsi...
