They are found in the eyes of many organisms, specifically in the tightly packed disks that compose the outer segment of the retina's photoreceptive rod cells. It features a seven-transmembrane helix core and is a G protein-coupled receptor embedded in the lipid bilayer of cell membranes that undergoes a structural change following photoactivation.
