Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: GRK1 Antibody (D11) [NB120-2776] - Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with a Rhodopsin Kinase 1a/b Monclonal Antibody (D11) at a dilution of 1:200 and incubated overnight in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight-conjugated secondary antibody for 45 minutes at room temperature in the dark. F-actin (red) was stained with a fluorescent phalloidin and nuclei (blue) were stained with DAPI.

Application
Recommended Usage

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence

1:20 - 1:200

Immunohistochemistry

1:1000

Immunohistochemistry-Frozen

1:1000

Immunoprecipitation

1:10 - 1:500

Western Blot

Application Notes
WB: Detects an approx. 60 kDa protein representing GRK 1a/b. ab2766 detects both in vitro expressed splice variants by WB but was not able to detect significant amounts of GRK1b from human retina. IF: Staining of GRK1a/b in bovine retina with ab2766 results in intense staining primarily in cone outer segments, but also in rod outer segments. Weak staining is observed in somata and synaptic terminals of cones and inner segments of rods.

Background: GRK1

The sensation of sight is the result of a cascade of events starting with the interaction of photoactivated rhodopsin with a protein called transducin. Rhodopsin kinase is a G-protein-coupled Ser/Thr kinase, also known as GRK1, which is a key element in the regulation of this cascade. Following phosphorylation by GRK1, arrestin is recruited to phospho-rhodopsin quenching its phototransductive activity by preventing further interaction with transducin. By breaking the cycle of phototransduction, GRK1 plays an important role in the restoration of the system for subsequent visual events.
