Purpose: As OPN4 has been shown to be expressed in a subset of RGCs carrying intrinsic photosensitivity (ipRGCs) in mammals and since the RGC-5 is a mammalian cell line which exhibits several RGC features, the objetive of this work was to study the opsin expression and intrinsically photosensitivity of this cell line.
