The OR1L6 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO01216) is a valuable tool for researchers studying OR1L6, a member of the olfactory receptor (OR) gene family that plays a role in the sense of smell. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity for human samples and has been validated for use in various applications, including Western blot. By targeting the OR1L6 protein, this antibody enables the detection and analysis of OR1L6 expression in different cell types, making it an excellent choice for studies in sensory biology and neuroscience.
OR1L6 is involved in detecting and responding to specific odor molecules in the environment, contributing to our ability to perceive and distinguish different smells. Research on OR1L6 can provide insights into how our olfactory system functions and how it may be impacted by disorders such as anosmia (loss of smell) or hyposmia (reduced sense of smell). Understanding the role of OR1L6 in olfaction could lead to the development of novel therapies for olfactory-related conditions.

NCBI Summary:
Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory 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. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.
