The marine ecosystem is subjected to a wide variety of environmental cycles, such as photoperiod and temperature. These cycles provide cues to marine species, leading to the adjustment of biological clocks that control their physiology, ranging from circadian to circalunar and seasonal rhythms. The eyestalk in crustaceans is considered the center of endocrine control, containing a range o…
The opsins, proteins with seven transmembrane domains, are receptors specialized in perceiving the light from prokaryotes to man. Undoing the view that opsins are exclusively light sensors, today it is accepted that opsins form a family of multi-functional molecules that have the potential to perceive temperature and light. In mammals, melanopsin is a retinal photopigment found in a subse…
In mammals, there is a network of central and peripheral circadian clocks, regulating behavioral and biochemical processes in the organism. Light information travels through the retina and activates a series of opsins, among which is the photopigment melanopsin (OPN4) present in intrinsically photosensitive cells (ipRGCs) which constitute about 2% of the ganglion cell layer. Melanopsin pa…
