免疫原
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Recoverin. AA range:107-156
特异性
Recoverin Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of Recoverin protein.
组成(Formulation)
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
纯化工艺(Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
背景(Background)
This gene encodes a member of the recoverin family of neuronal calcium sensors. The encoded protein contains three calcium-binding EF-hand domains and may prolong the termination of the phototransduction cascade in the retina by blocking the phosphorylation of photo-activated rhodopsin. Recoverin may be the antigen responsible for cancer-associated retinopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
功能
disease:Identified as the antigen in cancer-associated retinopathy, an autoimmune disease of the retina caused by a tumor in another tissue.,function:Seems to be implicated in the pathway from retinal rod guanylate cyclase to rhodopsin. May be involved in the inhibition of the phosphorylation of rhodopsin in a calcium-dependent manner. The calcium-bound recoverin prolongs the photoresponse.,miscellaneous:Binds two calcium ions; one with high affinity, the other with low affinity.,similarity:Belongs to the recoverin family.,similarity:Contains 4 EF-hand domains.,tissue specificity:Retina and pineal gland.,

细胞定位
Photoreceptor inner segment . Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment . Photoreceptor outer segment membrane ; Lipid-anchor ; Cytoplasmic side . Perikaryon . Primarily expressed in the inner segments of light-adapted rod photoreceptors, approximately 10% of which translocates from photoreceptor outer segments upon light stimulation (By similarity). Targeting of myristoylated protein to rod photoreceptor outer segments is calcium dependent (By similarity). .
组织表达
Retina and pineal gland.
