The TAS2R42 Monoclonal Antibody (PAC037210) is a powerful tool for researchers studying taste perception and related pathways. This antibody, produced using hybridoma technology, specifically targets TAS2R42, a taste receptor involved in bitter taste perception. It is highly specific for human samples and has been validated for use in various experimental techniques, including immunofluorescence and flow cytometry.TAS2R42 is a member of the TAS2R family of receptors, which play a key role in detecting bitter compounds in food and beverages. Understanding the function of TAS2R42 can provide insights into individual differences in taste perception and preferences, as well as potential implications for diet, nutrition, and health outcomes.
Researchers in the fields of sensory biology, nutrition, and taste science will find this antibody invaluable for studying TAS2R42 expression and localization in taste cells and other relevant tissues. By elucidating the mechanisms of bitter taste perception, this antibody contributes to a deeper understanding of sensory signaling pathways and their impact on human 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 42 (T2R42) (Taste receptor type 2 member 55) (T2R55), TAS2R42, TAS2R55
