OPN4 Protein, Rat (Cell-Free, His)
OPN4 Protein, a photoreceptor with affinity for cis-retinaldehydes, crucially mediates light responses like the pupillary reflex and photoentrainment. Its multifaceted role includes potential participation in optokinetic visual tracking response. Moreover, OPN4 may regulate retinal hyaloid vessel growth, emphasizing its significance in intricate aspects of ocular physiology. OPN4 Protein, Rat (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant rat-derived OPN4 protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free, with N-10*His labeled tag.
- Species: Rat
- Source: E. coli Cell-free

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
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.
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.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
