GRK1 Antibody (G8) - BSA Free

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: GRK1 Antibody (G8) [NB120-2775] - Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with a Rhodopsin Kinase 1a Monclonal Antibody (G8) at a dilution of 1:200 and incubated overnight in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight-conjugated secondary antibody for 45 minutes at room temperature in the dark. F-actin (red) was stained with a fluorescent phalloidin and nuclei (blue) were stained with DAPI.

Background

The sensation of sight is the result of a cascade of events starting with the interaction of photoactivated rhodopsin with a protein called transducin. Rhodopsin kinase is a G-protein-coupled Ser/Thr kinase, also known as GRK1, which is a key element in the regulation of this cascade. Following phosphorylation by GRK1, arrestin is recruited to phospho-rhodopsin quenching its phototransductive activity by preventing further interaction with transducin. By breaking the cycle of phototransduction, GRK1 plays an important role in the restoration of the system for subsequent visual events.
