General annotation

Function Light receptor required for regulation of circadian rhythm. Contributes to pupillar reflex and other non-image forming responses to light. May be able to isomerize covalently bound all- trans retinal back to 11-cis retinal.
Subcellular location Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Found in soma, dendrites and proximal part of axons of retinal ganglion cells.
