products description :
Description: Recoverin Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 200 amino acids & having a molecular mass of 23kDa. Introduction: Recoverin is a member of the recoverin family of neuronal calcium sensors. Recoverin is a heterogeneously acylated calcium-binding and intracellular signal transduction 23kDa protein in the photoreceptor cells of retina. Recoverin contains four EF-hands, of which two bind Ca. Ca-induced extrusion of the acyl group from a hydrophobic cleft in the protein drives the translocation of recoverin from solution to the disc membrane. Recoverin may prolong the termination of the phototransduction cascade in the retina by blocking the phosphorylation of photo-activated rhodopsin. Recoverin plays a key role in the inhibition of rhodopsin kinase, a molecule that regulates the phosphorylation of rhodopsin. This in due course controls the ability of the eye to adapt to, and recover from, exposure to the presence of light. Recoverin is a detectable serologic protein that is expressed in patients with cancer-associated retinopathy, a paraneoplastic syndrome.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the recoverin family of neuronal calcium sensors. The encoded protein contains three calcium-binding EF-hand domains and may prolong the termination of the phototransduction cascade in the retina by blocking the phosphorylation of photo-activated rhodopsin. Recoverin may be the antigen responsible for cancer-associated retinopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
RCV1: Seems to be implicated in the pathway from retinal rod guanylate cyclase to rhodopsin. May be involved in the inhibition of the phosphorylation of rhodopsin in a calcium-dependent manner. The calcium-bound recoverin prolongs the photoresponse. Belongs to the recoverin family. Protein type: Calcium-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17p13.1. Cellular Component: dendrite. Molecular Function: calcium sensitive guanylate cyclase activator activity; calcium ion binding. Biological Process: rhodopsin mediated signaling; phototransduction, visible light; regulation of rhodopsin mediated signaling; visual perception; positive regulation of guanylate cyclase activity; regulation of calcium ion transport; signal transduction
