Capsaicin Receptor antibody was raised in rabbit using synthetic peptide from the C-terminus of the capsaicin receptor conjugated to BSA as the immunogen.
Capsaicin is the active component of chili peppers, which are plants belonging to the genus Capsicum. It is an irritant for mammals, including humans, and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact. Capsaicin and several related compounds are called capsaicinoids and are produced as a secondary metabolite by chili peppers, probably as deterrents against certain herbivores and fungi. Pure capsaicin is a hydrophobic, colorless, odorless, crystalline to waxy compound. Synonyms: Polyclonal Capsaicin Receptor antibody, Anti Capsaicin Receptor antibody.
