Function

G protein-coupled photoreceptor that activates the G protein transducin (t) signaling pathway in response to light and is essential for image-forming vision under low-light conditions. Required for postnatal photoreceptor cell viability. Activation occurs when the covalently bound 11-cis-retinal chromophore absorbs a photon and isomerizes to all-trans-retinal, inducing a conformational change in the opsin that triggers G protein-mediated phototransduction.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Photoreceptor outer segment membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)

Function

G protein-coupled photoreceptor that activates the G protein transducin (t) signaling pathway in response to light and is essential for image-forming vision under low-light conditions. Required for postnatal photoreceptor cell viability (PubMed:9335046). Activation occurs when the covalently bound 11-cis-retinal chromophore absorbs a photon and isomerizes to all-trans-retinal, inducing a conformational change in the opsin that triggers G protein-mediated phototransduction. Signal termination occurs via receptor phosphorylation, which promotes binding of arrestin (SAG) and displacement of the G protein alpha subunit (By similarity)

Subcellular Location

Photoreceptor outer segment membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)

Subunit

Homodimer (By similarity). May form a complex composed of RHO, GRK1 and RCVRN in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner; RCVRN prevents the interaction between GRK1 and RHO (By similarity). Interacts with GRK1 (By similarity). Interacts (phosphorylated form) with SAG. Interacts with GNAT1. Interacts with GNAT3. SAG and G proteins compete for a common binding site (By similarity). Interacts with PRCD; the interaction promotes PRCD stability. Forms a complex with ASAP1 and ARF4. Forms a complex with ASAP1, RAB11A, Rabin8/RAB3IP, ARF4 and RAB11FIP3; the complex regulates Golgi-to-cilia rhodopsin/RHO transport in photoreceptors (By similarity)
