Target Information
Chicken Rhodopsin (RHO) is a photoreceptor protein in the retina, essential for vision in low-light conditions. It undergoes conformational changes upon light absorption, initiating the visual signal transduction cascade. RHO is crucial for the regeneration of visual pigments and the recovery of photoreceptor function after light exposure. Mutations in RHO can lead to retinal degeneration and impaired vision, highlighting its importance in maintaining visual function and retinal health.
