Peropsin, a visual pigment-like receptor, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RRH gene. It belongs like other animal opsins to the G protein-coupled receptors. Even so, the first peropsins were already discovered in mice and humans in 1997, not much is known about them.

== Photochemistry == Like most opsins, peropsins have in its seventh transmembrane domain a lysine corresponding to amino acid position 296 in cattle rhodopsin, which is important for retinal binding and light sensing.
