SPECIFICATIONS
ClonalityPolyclonal
HostRabbit
ConjugationUnconjugated
IsotypeIgG
ImmunogenA synthetic peptide from human Rho-related GTP-binding proteins (RhOA, RhOB, RhOC, RhOF, RhOQ) and RAC1, RAC2, RAC3 and CDC42 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in many other species.

Additional Info
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated on some or all of the serine and threonine residues present in the C-terminal region. After activation by light, phosphorylated by GRK1 (in vitro). Contains one covalently linked retinal chromophore. Upon light absorption, the covalently bound 11-cis-retinal is converted to all-trans-retinal. After hydrolysis of the Schiff base and release of the covalently bound all-trans-retinal, active rhodopsin is regenerated by binding of a fresh molecule of 11-cis-retinal. |
| Function | Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth. Light-induced isomerization of the chromophore 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins. Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling. |
