Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a modified channel rhodopsin capable of opening and closing an ion channel by irradiation with light at different wavelengths, and/or having high ion permeability (photoreactivity). The solution is to substitute a C-terminal region of a channel rhodopsin obtained by substituting an N-terminal region of a-derived channel rhodopsin by an N-terminal region of a-derived channel rhodopsin-1, by a C-terminal region of a-derived channel rhodopsin-2 or a C-terminal region of a-derived channel rhodopsin.
