The protein Bovine Rhodopsin is a photoreceptor that aids in the sensory perception of light stimulus in environments with low light intensity. 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. The and ions that are attached to the aid in this structural change.
