The PKD2L1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC018349) is a valuable tool for researchers studying PKD2L1, a protein involved in sensory signaling pathways related to taste and sour taste perception. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to the PKD2L1 protein, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an ideal choice for studies in neuroscience and sensory biology research.
PKD2L1, known as a member of the polycystin family, plays a crucial role in the detection and transmission of sour taste signals, contributing to the overall taste perception process. Understanding the function and regulation of PKD2L1 is essential for advancing knowledge in taste physiology and potentially developing new strategies for manipulating taste perception. Research on PKD2L1 may also have implications for broader sensory systems and contribute to our understanding of sensory disorders and taste-related diseases.

Background:
This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein contains multiple transmembrane domains, and cytoplasmic N- and C-termini. The protein may be an integral membrane protein involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions. This protein functions as a calcium-regulated nonselective cation channel. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Synonyms:
polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1
