Identification of a novel Drosophila opsin reveals specific patterning of the R7 and R8 photoreceptor cells.

Neuron - 1 Dec 1996

Abstract excerpt

The function of the compound eye is dependent upon a developmental program that specifies different cell fates and directs the expression of spectrally distinct opsins in different photoreceptor cells. Rh5 is a novel Drosophila opsin gene that encodes a biologically active visual pigment that is expressed in a subset of R8 photoreceptor cells. Rh5 expression in the R8 cell of an individual ommatidium is strictly...
