Retinaldehyde-binding protein 1 is a 36-kD water-soluble protein which carries 11-cis-retinaldehyde or 11-cis-retinal as physiologic ligands. It may be a functional component of the visual cycle. Mutations of this gene have been associated with severe rod-cone dystrophy, Bothnia dystrophy (nonsyndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa) and retinitis punctata albescens. CRALBP is not expressed in photoreceptors but is abundant in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Muller cells of the neuroretina, where it carries 11-cis-retinol and 11-cis-retinaldehyde. When expressed in bacteria, recombinant CRALBP containing the R150Q substitution was less soluble than wildtype recombinant CRALBP. Mutant CRALBP was purified and found to lack the ability to bind 11-cis-retinaldehyde
Human Retinaldehyde-binding protein 1 (RLBP1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate RLBP1 in samples. An antibody specific for RLBP1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyRLBP1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for RLBP1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of RLBP1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
