RPGRIP1 blocking peptide
RPGRIP1 Antibody (Center) Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a photoreceptor protein that interacts with retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator protein and is a key component of cone and rod photoreceptor cells. Mutations in this gene lead to autosomal recessive congenital blindness. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
Uniprot Description
RPGRIP1: Essential for RPGR function and is also required for normal disk morphogenesis. Defects in RPGRIP1 are the cause of Leber congenital amaurosis type 6 (LCA6). LCA designates a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of childhood retinal degenerations, generally inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Affected infants have little or no retinal photoreceptor function as tested by electroretinography. LCA represents the most common genetic cause of congenital visual impairment in infants and children. Defects in RPGRIP1 are the cause of cone-rod dystrophy type 13 (CORD13). An inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination, predominantly in the macular region, and initial loss of cone photoreceptors followed by rod degeneration. This leads to decreased visual acuity and sensitivity in the central visual field, followed by loss of peripheral vision. Severe loss of vision occurs earlier than in retinitis pigmentosa. Heterozygous non-synonymous variants of RPGRIP1 may cause or increase the susceptibility to various forms of glaucoma, a genetically heterogeneous disorder. It is the second cause of blindness worldwide owing to the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion neurons. Belongs to the RPGRIP1 family. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The RPGRIP1 rpgrip1 (Catalog #AAA9227896) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RPGRIP1, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
