Invitrogen™ Rhodopsin Monoclonal Antibody (1D4)

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
Supplier: Invitrogen™ MA1722
Description
MA1-722 detects rhodopsin from human, mouse and bovine retinal samples. Clone 1D4 has also been used successfully in Zebrafish. It does not recognize rhodopsin in zebrafish rods, but instead labels long double cone outer segments that express red opsin (Yin, J. et al, 2012). MA1-722 has been successfully used in Western blot, IHC (P), immunocytochemistry and immunoprecipitation procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~40 kDa protein representing rhodopsin from Sf9 cells expressing the bovine gene. Immunocytochemical staining of rhodopsin in human retinal samples results in staining of both rod and cone outer segments. The MA1-722 immunogen is bovine rhodopsin. The epitope for this antibody has been localized to the C-terminal nine amino acids of bovine rhodopsin known as the 1D4 epitope.
Visual pigments such as rhodopsin and porphyropsin are light-absorbing molecules that mediate vision. Rhodopsin consists of an apoprotein, opsin, covalently linked to 11-cis-retinal. This receptor is coupled to the activation of phospholipase C. Porphyropsin consists of opsin covalently linked to 11-cis 3,4-didehydroretinal.
