Anti-OPN3 Antibody Picoband®

Opsins are members of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) -coupled receptor superfamily. In addition to the visual opsins, mammals possess several photoreceptive non-visual opsins that are expressed in extraocular tissues. This gene, opsin 3, is strongly expressed in brain and testis and weakly expressed in liver, placenta, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas. The gene may also be expressed in the retina. The protein has the canonical features of a photoreceptive opsin protein.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human OPN3. Human OPN3 shares 91.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse OPN3.
