Melanopsin Antibodies

AND Opn4 ELISA kits, Melanopsin Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Melanopsin, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Melanopsin in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Melanopsin antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Melanopsin by testing them on tissues known to express Opn4 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the Opn4 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 2 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Opn4 Overview

Facts about Melanopsin.

Melanopsin (Opn4)

Photoreceptor needed for regulation of circadian rhythm. Contributes to pupillar reflex and other non-image forming responses to light.

Might be able to isomerize covalently bound all- trans retinal back to 11-cis retinal. .

Tissue Specificity

Eye. Expression is restricted within the ganglion and amacrine cell layers of the retina. Isoform 2 is about 40 times more abundant than isoform 1 in the retina. Isoform 1 is observed with processes in the outer strata of inner plexiform layer (IPL) close to the inner nuclear layer (INL) or is found to be bistratified with processes located both in the inner (ON) or outer (OFF) layers of the IPL. A second population of isoform 1 is identified in processes which are confined to the inner layer of the IPL near to the ganglion cell layer (GCL). Isoform 2 is involved in processes localized to the outer IPL or is bistratified with processes in both the inner and outer layers of the IPL. Isoform 2 is absent in the processes confined only to the inner layer of the IPL.
