CloneID: Rho 1D4
Heavy Chain modification: Fc Silent™
Antigen Long Description: Bleached bovine rod outer segment (ROS).
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original mouse IgG1 format for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Available Custom Conjugation Options: AP, HRP, Fluorescein, APC, PE, Biotin Type A, Biotin Type B, Streptavidin, FluoroProbes 647H, Atto488, APC/Cy7, PE/Cy7
Uniprot Accession No.: P08100
Specificity Statement: The antibody binds to the C-terminus of rhodopsin on the cytoplasmic side of disk membranes. The epitope has the following amino acid sequence: 'TETSQVAPA'. A limitation of the 1D4 tag, however, is that it has to be placed at the C-terminus of a protein. This is because the Rho1D4 monoclonal antibody requires a free carboxylate group for high affinity binding. Amidation of the carboxyl group lowers its immunoreactivity to the Rho1D4 antibody by over 100 fold.
Application Notes (Clone): The antibody binds to the C-terminus of rhodopsin on the cytoplasmic side of disk membranes. Rhodopsin is the major pigment in rod photoreceptors and belongs to the family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The linear epitope (TETSQVAPA) can be used as a protein tag.
