摘要：

The absorbance spectra of rods from the sand goby were measured by using microspectrophotometry. Analysis of the averaged spectra shows that the rod visual pigment has a maximum absorbance (lambda(max)) at approximately 501 nm. A sand goby retinal cDNA library was constructed and then screened with a partial sand goby rod opsin clone obtained by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The screening of the library yielded a full length rod opsin clone. The cDNA sequence and deduced amino acid sequence of this clone are compared with those of other vertebrate rod opsins.
