Opn5L1 is a retinal receptor that behaves as a reverse and self-regenerating photoreceptor

Most opsins are G protein-coupled receptors that utilize retinal both as a ligand and as a chromophore. Opsins’ main established mechanism is light-triggered activation through retinal 11-cis-to-all-trans photoisomerization.
