The OR2Z1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC003934) is a vital tool for researchers studying the OR2Z1 protein, a member of the olfactory receptor family involved in detecting odors. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits high specificity for human samples and is suitable for Western blot analysis. By binding to the OR2Z1 protein, this antibody enables the detection and analysis of this olfactory receptor in various cellular contexts, making it a valuable asset for studies in sensory biology and neurobiology.OR2Z1, also known as a member of the olfactory receptor family, plays a crucial role in the detection and processing of odors, contributing to the complex mechanism of olfaction in humans.
Understanding the function and regulation of OR2Z1 is essential for enhancing our knowledge of sensory perception and potentially identifying therapeutic targets for olfactory disorders or abnormalities. Researchers studying olfaction, neurobiology, and sensory perception can benefit greatly from the specificity and reliability of the OR2Z1 Polyclonal Antibody in their studies.

NCBI Summary:
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.
