Background Information

Recoverin is a calcium-binding protein that is primarily detected in the photoreceptor cells of the eye. It contains three calcium-binding EF-hand domains. It controls phosphorylation of the visual receptor rhodopsin by inhibiting rhodopsin kinase. It is the autoantigen responsible for the degenerative disease of the retina known as cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR), a paraneoplastic syndrome.

Properties

Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
