Neuropsin Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Opsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) -coupled receptor superfamily. This opsin gene is expressed in the eye, brain, testes, and spinal cord. This gene belongs to the seven-exon subfamily of mammalian opsin genes that includes peropsin (RRH) and retinal G protein coupled receptor (RGR) . Like these other seven-exon opsin genes, this family member may encode a protein with photoisomerase activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010], caution:The sequence shown here is derived from an Ensembl automatic analysis pipeline and should be considered as preliminary data., PTM:It is uncertain whether Cys-315 or Cys-316 is palmitoylated., similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Opsin subfamily., tissue specificity:Detected in brain and retina and cell lines derived from neural retina.
