RPE65 Antibody (3D9) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects RPE65 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). RPE65 is a crucial protein located in the retinal pigment epithelium, where RPE65 plays a vital role in the visual cycle by facilitating the conversion of all-trans-retinal to 11-cis-retinal, a key component in the regeneration of visual pigments. This process is essential for maintaining photoreceptor function and overall vision. RPE65 exists in two forms: a membrane-bound form that is palmitoylated, allowing RPE65 to anchor to the cell membrane, and a soluble form that binds vitamin A when unpalmitoylated. Deficiencies or mutations in RPE65 can lead to severe visual impairments, including autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and Leber congenital amaurosis type 2, highlighting the importance of RPE65 in ocular health. Anti-RPE65 antibody (3D9) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying retinal diseases and the underlying mechanisms of vision restoration.
