- Highly conserved among vertebrate species, RPE65 is a major protein of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). RPE65 is essential for the regeneration of rhodopsin in the visual cycle. Mutations in RPE65 are responsible for certain forms of autosomal recessive severe retinal dystrophy, including Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA). Loss of function results in a block in retinoid processing required for the synthesis of 11-cis retinal and the accumulation of retinyl esters in the RPE. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:5000-1:20,000 on bovine RPE membranes using ECL. Suggested dilution buffer is TBS containing 10% calf serum, 0.25% T-20, 1M D-glucose with 10% glycerol. Suggested blocking buffer is TBS containing 2% BSA and 0.5% Tween 20. Preferred gel percentage is 10%. Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 1:250-1:500 Immunoprecipitation: 20ug in a reaction volume of 500ul. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
