Divergent G-protein selectivity across melanopsins from mice and humans

Melanopsin is an opsin photopigment and light-activated G-protein-coupled receptor; it is expressed in photoreceptive retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) and can be employed as an optogenetic tool. Mammalian melanopsins can signal via G(q/11) and G(i/o/t) heterotrimeric G proteins, but aspects of the mRG...
