Rhodopsin (RHO) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: Rho 1D4]

SKU TA385917

Recombinant Anti-Rhodopsin (Clone Rho 1D4)

Product Data

• Clone Name: Rho 1D4
• Application: ELISA, IF, IHC, IP, WB
• Reactivity: Cow, Human, Mouse, Rat, Zebrafish
• Antibody Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: IgG, kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: Bleached bovine rod outer segment (ROS).
• Specificity: The antibody binds to the C-terminus of rhodopsin on the cytoplasmic side of disk membranes. The epitope has the following amino acid sequence: 'TETSQVAPA'. A limitation of the 1D4 tag, however, is that it has to be placed at the C-terminus of a protein. This is because the Rho1D4 monoclonal antibody requires a free carboxylate group for high affinity binding. Amidation of the carboxyl group lowers its immunoreactivity to the Rho1D4 antibody by over 100 fold.; ; The antibody binds to the C-terminus of rhodopsin on the cytoplasmic side of disk membranes. Rhodopsin is the major pigment in rod photoreceptors and belongs to the family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The linear epitope (TETSQVAPA) can be used as a protein tag.
