Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350673

Additional Information

Alternative name: Opn1mw (Opsin 1, green sensitive opsin, M opsin)

Swiss-Prot: O35599

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from mouse Opsin 1 (green-sensitive opsin, M opsin, Opn1mw, Gcp) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen. The antigen is homologous in rat.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: FUNCTION: Visual pigments are the light-absorbing molecules that mediate vision. They consist of an apoprotein, opsin, covalently linked to cis-retinal. May increase spectral sensitivity in dim light. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expresssed in cone photoreceptor cells. Also known as: Green-sensitive opsin, green cone photoreceptor pigment, medium wavelength-sensitive cone opsin, M opsin, Opsin 1, Gcp.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for Opn1mw.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles. Expiry date:

Restrictions: For Research Use only
