Expression of a homologue of a vertebrate non-visual opsin Opn3 in the insect photoreceptors

Insect vision starts with light absorption by visual pigments based on opsins that drive Gq-type G protein-mediated phototransduction. Since Drosophila, the most studied insect in vision research, has only Gq-coupled opsins, the Gq-mediated phototransduction has been solely focused on insect vision...
