Principle of the Assay: RGS9BP ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing an anti-RGS9BP antibody and an RGS9BP-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with RGS9BP-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the RGS9BP concentration since RGS9BP from samples and RGS9BP-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-RGS9BP antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by RGS9BP from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind RGS9BP-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The RGS9BP concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
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.

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.

Product Notes
The Rabbit RHO rho (Catalog #AAA7224649) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7224649 ELISA Kit recognizes Rabbit RHO. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Rhodopsin (RHO), ELISA Kit" 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
