Spectral diversity of vertebrate retinal photoisomerase RGRs

Key Points

• RGRs exhibit significant spectral diversity, influencing phototransduction efficiency across vertebrates.
• Analysis showed distinct chromophore binding properties for RGRs from various vertebrate species.
• Observational analysis of retinal tissues across multiple vertebrate species revealed adaptation in light sensitivity.
• Findings highlight the evolutionary importance of RGRs in vertebrate vision across diverse environmental conditions.
