OPN1LW Protein, Human (Cell-Free, His)

OPN1LW protein, crucial for vision, is a vital element of visual pigments responsible for light absorption. The pigments consist of opsin, forming a covalent bond with cis-retinal. This molecular mechanism is indispensable for perceiving light stimuli in vision. OPN1LW Protein, Human (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant human-derived OPN1LW protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag.

Description

OPN1LW protein, crucial for vision, is a vital element of visual pigments responsible for light absorption. The pigments consist of opsin, forming a covalent bond with cis-retinal. This molecular mechanism is indispensable for perceiving light stimuli in vision. OPN1LW Protein, Human (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant human-derived OPN1LW protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag.

Background

The OPN1LW protein, integral to the process of vision, is a key component of visual pigments, which are responsible for absorbing light. These pigments comprise an apoprotein known as opsin, which forms a covalent linkage with cis-retinal, facilitating the intricate molecular mechanism essential for the perception of light stimuli in vision.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration). Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
