The OR2K2 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC001222) is a valuable tool for research involving the olfactory receptor 2K2 (OR2K2), a protein involved in odor detection and perception. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in various applications, including Western blotting.OR2K2 is a member of the olfactory receptor family and plays a crucial role in the sense of smell, specifically in detecting certain odors and sending signals to the brain for interpretation. Studies have shown that OR2K2 is involved in odor recognition and discrimination, making it an essential component in understanding olfaction and sensory perception.
By using the OR2K2 Polyclonal Antibody, researchers can effectively detect and analyze the expression of OR2K2 in different cell types and tissues, allowing for a deeper understanding of olfactory function and how it contributes to overall sensory perception. This antibody is a valuable tool for studies in neuroscience, sensory biology, and pharmacology, providing insights into the mechanisms underlying odor detection and processing in the human body.

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.
