Cambrian origin of the CYP27C1-mediated vitamin A(1)-to-A(2) switch, a key mechanism of vertebrate sensory plasticity

The spectral composition of ambient light varies across both space and time. Many species of jawed vertebrates adapt to this variation by tuning the sensitivity of their photoreceptors via the expression of CYP27C1, an enzyme that converts vitamin A(1) into vitamin A(2), thereby shifting the ratio o...
