The TAS2R5 Antibody (PAC064539) is a polyclonal antibody designed for research involving TAS2R5, a bitter taste receptor protein involved in taste perception. The antibody is raised in rabbits and is highly reactive with human samples, validated for use in various applications such as Western blot and immunohistochemistry.TAS2R5 plays a key role in detecting bitter compounds in food and beverages, contributing to individual taste preferences and dietary choices. Research into TAS2R5 can provide insights into taste perception, food preferences, and potential links to health conditions like obesity and diabetes.
With its ability to bind specifically to TAS2R5 protein, this antibody enables reliable detection and analysis in various cell types, making it an essential tool for studies in sensory biology and nutrition research. Understanding the function and regulation of TAS2R5 can lead to advancements in food science, personalized nutrition, and therapeutic interventions targeting taste perception.

Immunofluorescence staining of HepG2 cells with PACO64539 at 1:100, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).
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 5 (T2R5), TAS2R5

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a bitter taste receptor; bitter taste receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and are specifically expressed by taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. Each of these apparently intronless taste receptor genes encodes a 7-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter taste receptor. This gene is clustered with another 3 candidate taste receptor genes on chromosome 7 and is genetically linked to loci that influence bitter perception. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
