General description

Recoverin is a calcium-binding protein expressed in retinal photoreceptors and midget cone bipolar cells. It appears to delay the termination of the phototransduction cascade by blocking the phosphorylation of photoexcited rhodopsin.

Specificity

Other species have not been tested.
Recognizes recoverin.

Immunogen

Recombinant human recoverin.

Application

Detect Recoverin using this Anti-Recoverin Antibody validated for use in IC, IH, IH(P) & WB.

Western Blot Analysis:
1:1,000-1:5,000 dilution using ECL.

Immunohistochemistry:
1:1,000 (2 hours at room temperature or overnight at 2-8ºC) on frozen and paraffin embedded tissue sections. Suggested fixative is 4% paraformaldehyde or 3% paraformaldehyde with 0.1% glutaraldehyde. Suggested permeabilization solution is 0.1% Triton X-100. Suggested blocking buffer is 0.05 M Tris saline, pH 7.4 containing 2.5% BSA, 0.1% triton and 0.05% sodium azide.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
