Product Specifications

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.

Clonality

Monoclonal

Western Blot: Rhodopsin Antibody (Rho 1D4) [NBP2-81059] - Western Blot using anti-Rhodopsin antibody (Rho 1D4) [NBP2-81059]. Rat eye lysate (35ug protein in RIPA buffer) was resolved on a 10% SDS PAGE gel and blots probed with the chimeric rabbit version of Rho 1D4 [NBP2-81059] at 0.0001 ug/ml before detection using an anti-rabbit secondary antibody. A primary incubation of 1h was used and protein was detected by chemiluminescence. The expected band size for monomeric rat ( Rattus norvegicus ) Rhodopsin is 39.0kDa, though this protein in known to form dimers and higher order multimers (c.f. Mansoor et al., PMID: 16492772, PMID: 10798675). NBP2-81059 successfully detected monomeric, dimeric and multimeric Rhodopsin in rat eye lysate.

Application Notes
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.
