Anti-OPN1LW antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein opsin 1, long wave sensitive. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 364 amino acid residues and a mass of 40.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. A member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 protein family, OPN1LW is known to be involved with GPCR signaling pathways and cell division. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation and glycosylation. The OPN1LW marker can be used to identify Retinal Cone Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include CBP, RCP, ROP, long-wave-sensitive opsin 1, and CBBM. OPN1LW gene orthologs have been reported in the bovine species. Indicated applications for OPN1LW antibodies listed below include ELISA, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunoprecipitation.
