Peropsin, a visual pigment-like receptor, is a

humans in 1997,[5] not much is known about them.[7]

Photochemistry

Like most opsins, peropsins have in its seventh transmembrane domain a lysine corresponding to amino acid position 296 in cattle rhodopsin,[5][7] which is important for retinal binding and light sensing.[8]

In

cephalochordate, a peropsin binds in the dark-state all-trans-retinal instead of 11-cis-retinal,[9] as it is in cattle rhodopsin.[10][11][12][13][14] Therefore, peropsins have been suggested to be photoisomerases.[9]

Tissue localization

In mice, a peropsin is localized to the apical

microvilli of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).[5] There, it regulates storage or the movement of vitamin A from the retina to the RPE.[15] A peropsin is also expressed in keratinocytes of the human skin. In keratinocyte cell culture, it reacts to UV light if retinal is supplied.[16] In chicken, a peropsin is expressed with an RGR-opsin in the pineal gland and the retina.[17]

Gene localization and structure

The human peropsin gene lies on chromosome 4 band 4q25 and has six introns[6][18] like RGR-opsins. However only two of these introns are inserted at the same place, which still indicates that peropsins and RGR-opsins are more closely related to each other than to the ciliary and rhabdomeric opsins.[18] This shared gene structure is also reflected in opsin phylogenies, where peropsins and RGR-opsins are in the same group: The chromopsins.[18][7][19][20]

Phylogeny

The peropsins are restricted to the

cnidarians.[7][19][20][21]

In the

cnidarians. The branches to the clades have pie charts, which give support values for the branches. The values are from right to left SH-aLRT/aBayes/UFBoot. The branches are considered supported when SH-aLRT ≥ 80%, aBayes ≥ 0.95, and UFBoot ≥ 95%. If a support value is above its threshold the pie chart is black otherwise gray.[7]

Clinical significance

Since RGR-opsin may be associated with retinitis pigmentosa,[22] which is like peropsin also expressed in the retinal pigment epithelium, peropsin was screened for a link with retinitis pigmentosa.[23] However, no link could be established.[23][24]
