The chicken gene encoding pineal gland-specific opsin (P-opsin) has been previously characterized. We report here the orthologous pigeon (Columba livia) P-opsin gene. The deduced pigeon P-opsin lacks a potential N-glycosylation site in the N-terminus, but has multiple phosphorylation sites in the C-terminus, which are opposite from the characteristics of the chicken P-opsin.
此前已对编码松果体特异性视蛋白（P-视蛋白）的鸡基因进行了表征。我们在此报告同源的鸽子（家鸽）P-视蛋白基因。推导的鸽子P-视蛋白在N端缺乏一个潜在的N-糖基化位点，但在C端有多个磷酸化位点，这与鸡P-视蛋白的特征相反。
