RPE-retinal G protein-coupled receptor also known as RGR-opsin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RGRgene.[5][6] RGR-opsin is a member of the rhodopsin-like receptor subfamily of GPCR. Like other opsins which bind retinaldehyde, it contains a conserved lysine residue in the seventh transmembrane domain.[7][8] RGR-opsin comes in different isoforms produced by alternative splicing.[6]
