Ectopically Expressed Rhodopsin is Not Sensitive to X-rays
2023-08-06
Abstract excerpt
Visual perception of X-radiation is a well-documented, but poorly understood phenomenon. Early literature implicates scotopic rod cells and rod opsin in X-ray detection, however, evidence suggests that X-rays excite the retina via a different mechanism than visible light. While rhodopsin’s role in X-ray perception is unclear, the possibility that it could function as an X-ray receptor has led to speculation that i...
