This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogène
This OR1Q1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 246-272 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human OR1Q1.
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.
