Anti-cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit beta 1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CNGB1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1251 amino acid residues and a mass of 139.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 4 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel (TC 1.A.1.5) protein family, it is known to be involved with the transport of ions. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Retinitis pigmentosa. Other names for this target antigen include CNCG3L, CNCG4, CNG4, CNGB1B, GAR1, GARP, GARP2, and CNCG2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
