The OR2A1 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO02837) is a valuable tool for researchers studying olfactory receptor 2A1, a protein involved in odor detection and olfactory signal transduction. This antibody, produced in rabbits, has been extensively validated for use in various research applications, particularly in Western blotting.Olfactory receptor 2A1 is a G protein-coupled receptor found in the olfactory sensory neurons of the nasal cavity. It plays a critical role in the detection and discrimination of different odors, contributing to our sense of smell.
Research on OR2A1 is important for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying olfaction and how our brains perceive and interpret different scents.By using the OR2A1 Polyclonal Antibody, researchers can accurately detect and analyze the expression of OR2A1 in different cell types and tissues, advancing our knowledge of olfactory receptor function. This antibody is a valuable tool for studies in the fields of neuroscience, sensory biology, and odor perception.

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.
