Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human retinal tissue labeling Rhodopsin with ab5417.

Secondary used was HRP conjugated. Prior preparation was initiated by antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0), microwaved for 8-15 min. Subsequent to retrival the retinal tissue was blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature. The sample was then incubated with ab5417 in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1 : 200 overnight at 4°C, overnight. Hematoxylin was used to counterstain the tissue.

Epitope

The epitope for this antibody has been localized to the C-terminal nine amino acids of bovine rhodopsin known as the 1D4 epitope.

Specificity

ab5417 detects Rhodopsin from human and bovine retinal samples. Data from Yin J et al., 2012 (PMID 22743318) indicates that in Zebrafish ab5417 appears to recognize Red Opsin rather than Rhodopsin.

Supplementary information

Rhodopsin also known as visual purple is a protein found in the photoreceptor cells of the retina. It has a mass of approximately 39 kDa. This protein acts as a light-sensitive receptor playing an essential role in the function of rod cells. Rhodopsin is expressed predominantly in the rod outer segment where it transduces light signals. The crystallized form of this receptor referred to as PDB ID: 1D4 has helped researchers study its structure in detail.
Biological function summary

Rhodopsin enables night vision by absorbing photons and activating a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) cascade. Rhodopsin is an integral part of a protein complex within the phototransduction pathway where it works closely with transducin to amplify the visual signal. It initiates the conversion of the photon into an electrical signal. Rhodopsin's role is triggering a structural change in response to light converting from its inactive form to a signaling state.

Pathways

Rhodopsin is deeply involved in the phototransduction and retinoid cycle pathways. Once it absorbs light the transducin it binds causes the activation of a cascade that ultimately results in hyperpolarization of the rod cells. This network of interactions also involves arrestin and recoverin which work together to regulate rhodopsin activity and signal termination. The process ensures precise response and recovery of the visual signal in low-light conditions.

Rhodopsin mutations and malfunctions connect to retinitis pigmentosa and congenital stationary night blindness. Mutations can lead to improper folding or misregulation of the protein impacting its function. Visual cycle proteins like RPE65 are often affected alongside rhodopsin in retinitis pigmentosa. These associations stress rhodopsin's importance in maintaining healthy retinal function and its link to eye diseases.

Target data

Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity (PubMed : 7846071, PubMed : 8107847). Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth (PubMed : 12566452, PubMed : 2215617). Light-induced isomerization of the chromophore 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins (PubMed : 26200343, PubMed : 28524165, PubMed : 28753425, PubMed : 8107847). Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling (PubMed : 26200343, PubMed : 28524165).
