Characterization of the melanopsin gene (Opn4x) of diurnal and nocturnal snakes

BACKGROUND: A number of non-visual responses to light in vertebrates, such as circadian rhythm control and pupillary light reflex, are mediated by melanopsins, G-protein coupled membrane receptors, conjugated to a retinal chromophore. In non-mammalian vertebrates, melanopsin expression is variable w...
