Abstract
The pigment reported in the Hara et al. (2018) study, however, is a member of the peropsin family of retinal pigments and was described by the authors as a member of the retinal pigment epitheliumderived rhodopsins, or RRhs, which typically possess lmax values in the blue region of the spectrum between 470–485 nm (Hao & Fong, 1996; Koyanagi et al., 2002). The whale shark RRh sequence from Hara et al. (2018) sorts with other shark RRh opsins (shown in Fig. 3) and is most likely a member of this family of retinal opsins and not an Rh1 opsin.
期刊介绍:
Visual Neuroscience is an international journal devoted to the publication of experimental and theoretical research on biological mechanisms of vision. A major goal of publication is to bring together in one journal a broad range of studies that reflect the diversity and originality of all aspects of neuroscience research relating to the visual system. Contributions may address molecular, cellular or systems-level processes in either vertebrate or invertebrate species. The journal publishes work based on a wide range of technical approaches, including molecular genetics, anatomy, physiology, psychophysics and imaging, and utilizing comparative, developmental, theoretical or computational approaches to understand the biology of vision and visuo-motor control. The journal also publishes research seeking to understand disorders of the visual system and strategies for restoring vision. Studies based exclusively on clinical, psychophysiological or behavioral data are welcomed, provided that they address questions concerning neural mechanisms of vision or provide insight into visual dysfunction.
