Human melanopsin forms a pigment maximally sensitive to blue light (λ(max) ≈ 479 nm) supporting activation of G(q)(/11) and G(i/o) signalling cascades
A subset of mammalian retinal ganglion cells expresses an opsin photopigment (melanopsin, Opn4) and is intrinsically photosensitive. The human retina contains melanopsin, but the literature lacks a direct investigation of its spectral sensitivity or G-protein selectivity. Here, we address this defic...
