PA1-724 detects rod transducin alpha (Tr alpha) from bovine outer rod segments and sheep retinal extract.
PA1-724 has been successfully used in Western blot procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~38 kDa protein representing Tr alpha from sheep retinal extract.
The PA1-724 immunizing peptide corresponds to amino acid residues 18-31 from human Tr alpha. This peptide (Cat. # PEP-153) is available for use in neutralization and control experiments.
Transducin is a 3-subunit guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) which stimulates the coupling of rhodopsin and cGMP-phosphodiesterase during visual impulses. The transducin alpha subunits in rods and cones are encoded by separate genes. This gene encodes the alpha subunit in rods. This gene is also expressed in other cells, and has been implicated in bitter taste transduction in rat taste cells. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal dominant congenital stationary night blindness. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
