Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins. Signaling mediates the activation of phospholipase C (By similarity). Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by arrestin and terminates signaling (By similarity).
