Anti-phosphodiesterase 6G antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the PDE6G gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 87 amino acid residues and a mass of 9.6 kDa. A member of the Rod/cone cGMP-PDE gamma subunit protein family, it is known to participate in processes of transmission and amplification of the visual signal. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Retinitis pigmentosa. Other names for this target antigen include RP57, retinal rod rhodopsin-sensitive cGMP 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase subunit gamma, GMP-PDE gamma, phosphodiesterase 6G, cGMP-specific, rod, gamma, rod cG-PDE G, and PDEG. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. A number of phosphodiesterase 6G antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
