Type 2 Taste Receptor Member 47 (TAS2R30) antibody

Antigen: Type 2 Taste Receptor Member 47 (TAS2R30)

Synonyms: T2R30, TAS2R47

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human

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

Catalog no.: ABIN350988

Additional Information

Alternative name: taste receptor, type 2, member 47 (TAS2R47, T2R47)

UniProt: P59540

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide as a part of human taste receptor, type 2, member 47 (TAS2R47, T2R47) conjugated to immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen. The antibody generated using this antigen is expected to also recognise TAS2R43, TAS2R44, TAS2R46 and TAS2R49 .

Format: Lyophilized

Description: FUNCTION: Receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate alpha gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and exclusively in gustducin-positive cells. MISCELLANEOUS: Most taste cells may be activated by a limited number of bitter compounds; individual taste cells can discriminate among bitter stimuli.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for TAS2R47 ( and also TAS2R43, TAS2R44, TAS2R46 and TAS2R49. See the Immunogen).

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 4000 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
