Antigen: Vomeronasal Type-1 Receptor B9 (V1rb9)

Synonyms: Vn5, Vnr5, V1rb12, Vom1r97

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Rat (Rattus)

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

Catalog no.: ABIN351411

Additional Information

Alternative name: vomeronasal type-1 receptor B9 (VN1B9, V1rb12, Vnr5, Vn5)

Swiss-Prot: Q5J3M9

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide as a part of rat vomeronasal type-1 receptor B9 (V1rb9, VN1B9, V1rb12, Vnr5, Vn5) conjugated to immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: Putative pheromone receptor; may play a role inolfactory sensory perception. FUNCTION: Putative pheromone receptor implicated in the regulation of social as well as reproductive behavior. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in 1-4% of neurons of thevomeronasal organ. Only one pheromone receptor gene may be expressed in a particular neuron. Not expressed in the mainolfactory epithelium. Also known as:vomeronasal type-1 receptor B12,vomeronasal receptor 5, pheromone receptor VN5, V1rb9, VN1B9, V1rb12, Vnr5, Vn5.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for VN1B9.

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
