Background
The RPE65 protein, also known as Retinoid isomerohydrolase, is a crucial protein produced in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. PE65 protein serves as a key isomerohydrolase in the visual cycle, involved in the regeneration of 11-cis-retinal, which is the chromophore of rod and cone cell visual pigments. It catalyzes the cleavage and isomerization of all-trans-retinyl fatty acid esters to produce 11-cis-retinol, which is further oxidized by 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase to 11-cis-retinal. RPE65 protein exists in two forms: soluble sRPE65 and membrane-bound mRPE65. The latter is palmitoylated and serves as a palmitoyl donor for lecithin retinol acyltransferase (LRAT), which catalyzes a step in the regeneration of vitamin A to all-trans-retinol.

Immunohistochemistry
IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse retina. Anti-RPE65 antibody was used at 1/1000 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse & Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Immunofluorescence

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse retina. Anti-RPE65 antibody was used at 1/1000 dilution (Green) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
