Photopigment
Photopigments are unstable pigments that undergo a chemical change. The term is generally applied to the non-protein chromophore moiety of photosensitive chromoproteins, such as the pigments involved in photosynthesis and photoreception. In medical terminology, “photopigment” commonly refers to the photoreceptor proteins of the retina.
