Additional Information

Alternative name: taste receptor, type 2, member 7 (Tas2r7, T2R7) (2d extracellular domain)

Swiss-Prot: P59530

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from 2d extracellular domain of mouse taste receptor, type 2, member 7 (Tas2r7, T2R7) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen. The antigen is homologous in rat.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: FUNCTION: Gustducin-coupled receptor for denatonium and N(6)-propyl-2-thiouracil implicated in the perception of bitter compounds in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. Signals through PLCB2 and the calcium-regulated cation channel TRPM5. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelium and exclusively in gustducin-positive cells. Expressed in 15% taste bud cells in circumvallate and foliate papillae but only in 2% in fungiform papillae. Expressed in gastric and duodenal tissues. Also known as: Taste receptor type 2 member 7, T2R7, T2R6, T2R30, STC7-4, mT2R42, Tas2r130, Tas2r6, Tas2r7.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for TAS2R7.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
