Background
Short-wave-sensitive opsin 1 belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, opsin subfamily. It encodes the blue cone pigment gene which is one of three types of cone photoreceptors responsible for normal color vision. Visual pigments are the light-absorbing molecules that mediate vision. They consist of an apoprotein, opsin, covalently linked to cis-retinal. Required for the maintenance of cone outer segment organization in the ventral retina, but not essential for the maintenance of functioning cone photoreceptors. Involved in ensuring correct abundance and localization of retinal membrane proteins. May increase spectral sensitivity in dim light. Defects in this gene are the cause of tritan color blindness (tritanopia). Affected individuals lack blue and yellow sensory mechanisms while retaining those for red and green. Defective blue vision is characteristic. Anti-S Ospin Antibody is useful for researchers interested in Color Blindness, Metabolism of fat-soluble vitamins, and Peptide ligand-binding receptors.
