Anti-RLBP1 Antibody, clone 3C1.1

Descrição detalhada : Retinaldehyde-binding protein 1 (RLBP1), also known as Cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein, and encoded by the gene RLBP1/CRALBP, is a soluble retinoid carrier protein essential for the proper function of both rod and cone photoreceptors. RLBP1 participates in the regeneration of active 11-cis-retinol and 11-cis-retinaldehyde from the inactive 11-trans products of the rhodopsin photocycle and in the de novo synthesis of these retinoids from 11-trans metabolic precursors. The cycling of retinoids between photoreceptor and adjacent pigment epithelium cells is known as the "visual cycle". RLBP1 is localized to the cytoplasm. RLBP1 is expressed in retina and pineal gland. It not present in photoreceptor cells but is expressed abundantly in the adjacent retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and in the Mueller glial cells of the retina. Defects in RLBP1 may be associated with Retinitis pigmentosa, Bothnia retinal dystrophy (BRD), Rod-cone dystrophy Newfoundland, and Retinitis punctata albescens genetic diseases.
