NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is found in rod cells in the back of the eye and is essential for vision in low-light conditions. The encoded protein binds to 11-cis retinal and is activated when light hits the retinal molecule. Defects in this gene are a cause 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 Human, Mouse, Rat RHO rho (Catalog #AAA9500528) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9500528 ELISA Kit recognizes Human, Mouse, Rat RHO. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Rhodopsin, 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
