Type:  Family Name:  Opsin, blue sensitive
Description:  Opsins are the photoreceptors of animal retinas: vertebrate rhodopsin is found in rod cells and mediates scotopic vision; red, green and blueopsins are found in cone cells and mediate photopic vision. Blue-sensitive opsin has an absorption maximum at 420nm. The ratio of blue cones to rodsis ~1:200. Deficiency in blue opsin results in tritanopia colour blindness. Short Name:  Opsin_blue
