Definition of Photopsins. Meaning of Photopsins. Synonyms of Photopsins

- expressed in cone cells are called cone opsins. The cone opsins are called photopsins when unbound to retinal and iodopsins when bound to retinal. Cone opsins...
- of photopsins, the photopigments that 'catch' photons and thereby convert light into chemical signals. A typical human has three distinct photopsins: S-...
- respectively. Because humans usually have three kinds of cones with different photopsins, which have different response curves and thus respond to variation in...
- that combine with retinal to form pigments called photopsins. Three different classes of photopsins in the cones react to different ranges of light frequency...
- applied to opsin-type photoreceptor proteins, specifically rhodopsin and photopsins, the photoreceptor proteins in the retinal rods and cones of vertebrates...
- Normalised absorption spectra of the three human photopsins and of human rhodopsin (dashed)....
- related to the functionality of cone cells, and often to the expression of photopsins, the photopigments that 'catch' photons and thereby convert light into...
- dim light night vision in retinal rod cells couples to Gt1, and color photopsins in color vision in retinal cone cells couple to Gt2, respectively. Gt3/Gustducin...
- subdivided into: Photopsins - those responsible for photopic vision (daylight), which are expressed in cone cells; hence also cone opsins. Photopsins are further...
- color blindness in which the gene for medium wavelength sensitive (green) photopsins is missing. Individuals with this form of colour blindness see every colour...
