Rhodopsin Epitope Tag - Other Categories

ID4 is a highly versatile epitope tag. The peptide sequence is highly specific to rhodopsin and related photoreceptor proteins, meaning when used with monoclonal antibodies off-target signals are virtually non-existent. ID4 is also devoid of charged residues therefore reducing nonspecific ionic interactions. Monoclonal antibodies also bind to ID4 with high affinity therefore there is less need for inserting multiple copies of ID4.
