CRALBP Antibody (B2) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody that detects CRALBP in mouse, rat, human, and bovine samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-CRALBP antibody (B2) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. The cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP) plays a crucial role in the visual cycle by binding to 11-cis-retinol and facilitating its conversion to 11-cis-retinal, which is essential for the phototransduction process in vertebrate photoreceptor cells. CRALBP (B2) monoclonal antibody recognizes CRALBP predominantly in the retinal pigment epithelium and Müller cells, where CRALBP is vital for transporting and recycling visual chromophores, thereby influencing the regeneration of rhodopsin and the overall efficiency of the visual cycle. Mutations in the CRALBP gene can lead to significant retinal pathologies, highlighting its importance in maintaining visual function. CRALBP knockout mice exhibit delayed responses in rhodopsin regeneration and dark adaptation, further underscoring CRALBP′s critical role in visual processing.

I am using CRALBP (B2): sc-59487 monoclonal antibody to stain paraffin embedded tissue. Do you recommend antigen retrieval when using this antibody?

Asked by: DefinitelyNotMatt
We recommend performing antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) and heat. The full protocol can be found here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunoperoxidase-staining
