Function of rhodopsins. Animal rhodopsins are G-protein coupled receptors, which are categorized as sensors activating a soluble transducer. On the other hand, microbial rhodopsins can act as pumps, channel, and light-sensors. Arrows indicate the direction of transport or flow of a signal. Purple and orange arrows represent energy conversion and signal transduction, respectively.
