Light-Mediated Inhibition of Colonic Smooth Muscle Constriction and Colonic Motility via Opsin 3

Opsin photoreceptors outside of the central nervous system have been shown to mediate smooth muscle photorelaxation in several organs. We hypothesized that opsin receptor activation in the colon would have a similar effect and influence colonic motility. We detected Opsin 3 (OPN3) protein expression...
