Description
Rhodopsin, also known as visual purple, is expressed in metazoan photoreceptor cells. It is a pigment of the retina that is responsible for both the formation of the photoreceptor cells and the first events in the perception of light. Rhodopsins belong to the class of G-protein coupled receptors. Rhodopsin is extremely sensitive to light, and enables night-vision. Exposed to white light, the pigment immediately bleaches, and it takes about 30 minutes to regenerate fully in humans.
