Description
Description: RLBP1 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 326 amino acids (1-317) and having a molecular mass of 37.5kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa). RLBP1 is fused to 6 amino acid His-Tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: RLBP1 is a 36-kD water-soluble protein that transports 11-cis-retinal or 11-cis-retinaldehyde as physiologic ligands. RLBP1 is a functional element of the visual cycle. RLBP1 gene mutations cause retinitis punctata albescens, severe rod-cone dystrophy and Bothnia dystrophy (nonsyndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa)
