From Proteopedia
Rhodopsin is a G protein-coupled photoreceptor, with seven membrane-spanning α helices embedded in each disk of the outer segments of rod and cone cells in the vertebrate retina. The chromophore 11-cis-retinal (light-absorbing pigment) is attached to opsin through a Schiff base linkage to Lysine 296.
