Olfactory Receptor 821 (OLFR821) antibody

Antigen: Olfactory Receptor 821 (OLFR821)

Synonyms: MOR109-1

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Mouse (Murine)

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

Catalog no.: ABIN350544

Additional Information

Alternative name: olfactory receptor (MOR109-1, Olfr821)

Swiss-Prot: Q8VG45

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide as a part of mouse olfactory receptor family 109, subfamily 1 (MOR109-1) conjugated to immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. Theolfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes.olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Also known as: Q8VG45_MOUSE,olfactory receptor MOR109-1, Olfr821.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for MOR109-1.

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.

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
