Odorant-Binding Protein (OBP) (C-Term) antibody

Antigen: Odorant-Binding Protein (OBP)

Synonyms: Obp-1f, Ry2g12

Epitope: C-Term

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Rat (Rattus)

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350536

Additional Information

Alternative name: Odorant binding protein (OBP, Aphrodisin) (c-terminal region)

Swiss-Prot: P08937

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide to c-terminal region of rat Odorant binding protein (OBP) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: FUNCTION: Aphrodisin is a glycoprotein originally isolated from vaginal discharge which was demonstrated to be involved in pheromonal effects on male s. It selectively binds odorants and may be involved in carrying odorants within the nasal epithelium to putativeolfactory receptors. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted Also known as: Aphrodisin, Odorant-binding protein, Odorant binding protein, OBP, Obp1f.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for OBP.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 200 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
