11-cis retinal

11-cis retinal
a retinal isomer that combines with opsins to form photoreceptive molecules, in the rods combining with scotopsin to form rhodopsin and in the cones combining with photopsins to form several iodopsins. In the presence of light, it is converted to the all-trans isomer.
