| Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 13603 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable 11-cis retinal binding activity; G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity; and all-trans retinal binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cellular respiration; positive regulation of glucose import; and response to blue light. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in eye and orbito-sphenoid. Orthologous to human OPN3 (opsin 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal photoentrainment but impaired adaptive thermoregulation. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in adipocytes exhibit blue-light sensitive impairment in adaptive thermoregulation. [provided by MGI curators] |
