Violet-light suppression of thermogenesis by Opsin 5 hypothalamic neurons

The opsin family of G-protein coupled receptors are employed as light detectors in animals. Opsin 5 (neuropsin, OPN5) is a highly conserved, violet light (380 nm λ(max)) sensitive opsin(1,2). In mice, OPN5 is a known photoreceptor in retina(3) and skin(4) but is also expressed in the hypothalamic pr...
