Rhodopsin Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit
The Rhodopsin Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can monitor Rhodopsin protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of Rhodopsin in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Rhodopsin.

ELISA
Detection Range
> 5000 cells/well
Function
Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity (PubMed:8107847, PubMed:7846071) . Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth (PubMed:2215617, PubMed:12566452) . Light-induced isomerization of the chromophore 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins (PubMed:8107847, PubMed:28524165, PubMed:26200343, PubMed:28753425) . Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G- protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling (PubMed:28524165, PubMed:26200343) .
