| Product Specific Information |
| MA1-813 detects CRALBP protein in bovine, human, mouse, non-human primate and rat samples. MA1-813 has successfully been used in Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects a 37 kDa protein representing human recombinant CRALBP. The MA1-813 immunogen is purified human recombinant CRALBP. Figure 1 illustrates immunohistostaining of CRALBP in frozen mouse retina sections using MA1-813. Figure 2 shows a Western blot of human recombinant CRALBP using MA1-813. |
| General Information |
| Cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP) plays an important role in the regeneration of 11-cis-retinal for use in rod visual pigments such as opsin and rhodopsin. Once 11-cis-retinal is photoisomerized in the rod outer segment, it is converted to all-trans-retinal and further modified into all-trans-retinol. All-trans-retinol then diffuses into the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to be converted back to 11-cis-retinol and further oxidized into 11-cis-retinal (both by CRALBP). Genetic mutations involving CRALBP’s lack of function have been linked to visual disease such as bothnia dystrophy, retinitis punctata albescens, retina pigmentosa, and Newfoundland rod-cone dystrophy. The presence of CRALBP serves as a marker for RPE and Muller glial cells of the retina. |
