Product Name :
Melanopsin (L470) Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Melanopsin is an opsin-like protein found in the retinal ganglion cells of mammals. Melanopsin is believed to be part of a secondary optical system that parallels that of the classic rod and cone system. This second system reports directly to the suprachiasmatic nucleus and is responsible for regulation of circadian rhythms. Melanopsin is believed to be the primary photopigment responsible for the regulation of these circadian rhythms, and Melanopsin knockout mice have been generated which demonstrate decreased capacity to entrain to light and dark cycles. Alternative Name :
Melanopsin; Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells; ipRGC; ipRGCs Swiss-Prot :
Q9UHM6 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide Melanopsin (L470). (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS2859 Melanopsin (L470) pAb.
