Additional notes
This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product and bovine rhodopsin, catalog ab3424. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~ 70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.

Function
Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth. Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change leading to G-protein activation and release of all-trans retinal. -
Tissue specificity
Rod shaped photoreceptor cells which mediates vision in dim light. -
Involvement in disease
Retinitis pigmentosa 4
Night blindness, congenital stationary, autosomal dominant 1 -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Opsin subfamily. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated on some or all of the serine and threonine residues present in the C-terminal region.
Contains one covalently linked retinal chromophore. -
Cellular localization
Membrane. Synthesized in the inner segment (IS) of rod photoreceptor cells before vectorial transport to the rod outer segment (OS) photosensory cilia. - Information by UniProt
