Spectral diversity of vertebrate retinal photoisomerase RGRs.

Biophysical journal - 19 May 2026

Nagata Takashi, Li Chunyangguang, Morimoto Naoya, Inoue Keiichi

Abstract excerpt

Vision begins with the photoisomerization of the chromophore 11-cis-retinal (11cR) to its all-trans form in visual rhodopsins. To regenerate visual rhodopsins, all-trans-retinal (atR) is re-isomerized to 11cR through a process known as the visual cycle in the eye. A key component of the vertebrate visual cycle is retinal G-protein-coupled receptor (RGR), which is a rhodopsin acting as a retinal photoisomerase...
