NCBI Description

Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited progressive disease which is a major cause of blindness in western communities. It can be inherited as an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive disorder. In the autosomal dominant form,which comprises about 25% of total cases, approximately 30% of families have mutations in the gene encoding the rod photoreceptor-specific protein rhodopsin. This is the transmembrane protein which, when photoexcited, initiates the visual transduction cascade. Defects in this gene are also one of the causes of congenital stationary night blindness. [provided by RefSeq]

Uniprot Description

Rhodopsin: a G-protein coupled receptor. The light-absorbing visual pigment in Rod photoreceptor cells. Mediates vision in dim light. Consists of the apoprotein, opsin, covalently linked to cis-retinal. Defects in RHO are a cause of autosomal retinitis pigmentosa and congenital stationary night blindness.

Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-pass; Receptor, GPCR; GPCR, family 1

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 3q21-q24

Cellular Component: Golgi membrane; Golgi apparatus; photoreceptor inner segment; photoreceptor outer segment; integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane; intercellular junction

Molecular Function: G-protein coupled receptor activity; protein binding; spectrin binding; metal ion binding; photoreceptor activity; retinal binding

Biological Process: rhodopsin mediated signaling; phototransduction, visible light; G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; red, far-red light phototransduction; regulation of rhodopsin mediated signaling; visual perception; retina development in camera-type eye; organelle organization and biogenesis; retinoid metabolic process; protein-chromophore linkage; protein amino acid phosphorylation

Disease: Fundus Albipunctatus; Night Blindness, Congenital Stationary, Autosomal Dominant 1; Retinitis Pigmentosa 4

Product Notes

The RHO rho (Catalog #AAA607562) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Rhodopsin (MGC138309, MGC138311, OPSD, Opsin 2, Opsin 2 Rod Pigment, Opsin-2, OPN2, Retinitis Pigmentosa 4, Retinitis Pigmentosa 4 Autosomal Dominant, RP4) reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Rhodopsin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF). Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Dilution: Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml for 2 hours at RT. Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/paraffin): 1:50-1:200 for 20 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin fixed tissue sections requires boiling the tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the RHO rho for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Rhodopsin, Monoclonal Antibody" 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.
