Stability Test
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
-
Storage & Shelf Life
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
-
Shipping
In general, recombinant proteins are supplied as lyophilized powder and shipped at ambient temperature. For bulk packages, the proteins are provided as frozen liquid and shipped with blue ice, unless otherwise requested by the customer.

Protein Description
OPN1MW is a visual pigment protein associated with the cone photoreceptors in the eyes of certain species, particularly those with a unique adaptation for color vision in dim light conditions. This protein is a member of the opsin family, which plays a critical role in phototransduction—the process by which light is converted into electrical signals in the retina. The study of OPN1MW is particularly important for understanding the evolutionary adaptations of different species to their visual environments and can provide insights into the mechanisms underlying color vision in vertebrates. Research on OPN1MW also contributes to our broader understanding of visual disorders and their potential genetic underpinnings. As scientists explore the structure and function of this protein through advanced techniques such as molecular cloning, protein expression, and functional assays, they aim to elucidate the specific roles that OPN1MW plays in visual perception. This research not only enhances our knowledge of evolutionary biology but also has potential applications in developing therapeutic strategies for vision-related diseases. Understanding the intricacies of OPN1MW may lead to breakthroughs in restoring or enhancing vision in humans and inform conservation efforts for species with specialized visual needs.
