Rod shaped photoreceptor cells that are required for image-forming vision at low light intensity and for photoreceptor cell viability after birth (ref: SWISSPROT).
The antibody reacts in wester blots in mouse brain extracts with a prominent band ~36kDa cooresponding to Rhodopsin. The antibody has not been tested in IHC.
Application Information:
WB. Suggested dilution at 1:500 to 1:2,000. To minimise background staining, a higher concentration of detergent (such as Tween-20) is suggested in the dilution and washing steps. Biosensis recommends that the optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.
