Description

General description

Anti-Opsin antibody, Mouse monoclonal (rhodopsin) (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the RET-P1 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/C mice immunized with rat retinal membranes. Opsin is also called as rhodopsin protein, members of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. Opsin comprises >95% of the rod outer segments (ROS) intrinsic membrane and consists of a protein moiety - an opsin - and a non-protein moiety - the chromophore retinal.

Application

Anti-Opsin antibody has been used in

• immunoblotting
• immunofluorescence
• immunohistochemistry
• enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
• radioimmuno assay (RIA)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Opsin is an essential molecules for mediating the ability of animals to detect and use light for diverse biological functions. Mutations in the opsin (rhodopsin) gene are linked to retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a disease characterized by retinal degeneration resulting in reduced peripheral vision and night blindness.
