Archaerhodopsin Notes:
Archaerhodopsin is a receptor protein family found in archaea. These proteins respond to light and is similar in function to the Rhodopsin protein (found in mammals), but they structurally differ with the rhodopsin proteins. For neuroscience research, archaerhodopsins are commonly used as optogenetics tools.
