Encephalopsin Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-Encephalopsin Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

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. OPN3 may also be expressed in the retina. The protein has the canonical features of a photoreceptive opsin protein.
