| Conjugation: |
Unconjugated |
| Isotype: |
IgG |
| Formulation: |
Lyophilised |
| Purification: |
IgG purified |
| Dilution Range: |
IHC, WB. A dilution of 1:2000 is recommended for IHC-P and 1:5000 to 1:7000 for WB. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications. |
| Storage Instruction: |
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at-20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles. |
| Gene Symbol: |

OPSD_RAT |
| Specificity: |
Specific for Rhodopsin. |
| Immunogen: |
A synthetic peptide from human Rhodopsin conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in mouse and rat. |
| Function | Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth. Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis 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. |
