|
| Function |
Receptor for all-trans- and 11-cis-retinal. Binds preferentially to the former and may catalyze the isomerization of the chromophore by a retinochrome-like mechanism.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Preferentially expressed at high levels in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Mueller cells of the neural retina.
