IRBP-derived peptide, R16(CAT: I040238) is a biologically active peptide fragment derived from Interphotoreceptor Retinoid-Binding Protein (IRBP), a photoreceptor-specific protein involved in retinoid transport. R16 is capable of inducing Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis (EAU) in susceptible animal models, making it a valuable reagent for studying autoimmune eye diseases and immune-mediated retinal inflammation. This peptide is widely used to explore the mechanisms of antigen-specific T cell activation, immune privilege in the eye, and uveitis pathogenesis. R16 supports preclinical research in autoimmunity, immunopathology, and the development of therapeutic interventions targeting ocular inflammatory disorders.
