The TAS2R13 Monoclonal Antibody (PACO42286) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the TAS2R13 taste receptor, which is involved in the perception of bitter tastes. This antibody, generated in mice, has high specificity for TAS2R13 and has been validated for use in various experimental applications, including immunofluorescence and flow cytometry.TAS2R13 is a member of the TAS2R family of G protein-coupled receptors, which play a crucial role in taste perception and are involved in regulating food intake and preferences. Understanding the function of TAS2R13 can provide insights into the mechanisms underlying bitter taste perception and its impact on dietary choices and overall health.
The TAS2R13 Monoclonal Antibody is a valuable tool for researchers interested in studying the role of TAS2R13 in taste perception, as well as its potential implications for conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and eating disorders. Its high specificity and reliability make it an ideal choice for studies aiming to elucidate the complex mechanisms involved in taste perception and its impact on physiology and behavior.

Background:
Receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate α gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5.
Synonyms:
Taste receptor type 2 member 13 (T2R13) (Taste receptor family B member 3) (TRB3), TAS2R13

NCBI Summary:
This gene product belongs to the family of candidate taste receptors that are members of the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily. These proteins are specifically expressed in the taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. They are organized in the genome in clusters and are genetically linked to loci that influence bitter perception in mice and humans. In functional expression studies, they respond to bitter tastants. This gene maps to the taste receptor gene cluster on chromosome 12p13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
