Activation of Transducin by Bistable Pigment Parapinopsin in the Pineal Organ of Lower Vertebrates

Pineal organs of lower vertebrates contain several kinds of photosensitive molecules, opsins that are suggested to be involved in different light-regulated physiological functions. We previously reported that parapinopsin is an ultraviolet (UV)-sensitive opsin that underlies hyperpolarization of the...
