Source/Purification	Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu194 of human rhodopsin protein.
Background	Rhodopsin is the photoreceptor in the retinal rods. It is activated by photons, transduces visual information through its cognate g protein, transducin, and is inactivated by arrestin binding (1). Using atomic-force microscopy, rhodopsin was found to be arranged into paracrystalline arrays of dimers in mouse disc membranes (2). Rhodopsin is considered to be the prototype of g protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and is the first GPCR for which a crystal structure was solved (3). Research studies have linked mutations in the gene encoding rhodopsin to retinitis pigmentosa (4,5), a disease characterized by retinal degeneration resulting in reduced peripheral vision and night blindness (6).
