The OR4K17 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO04203) is a valuable tool for researchers studying olfactory receptor 4K17 (OR4K17), a protein involved in the sense of smell. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits strong reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in various research applications, including immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.Through its ability to bind specifically to OR4K17, this antibody enables the detection and analysis of the protein in a variety of cell types and tissues. This makes it an ideal choice for investigations into the role of OR4K17 in olfaction and sensory perception, with potential implications for research in neurobiology, physiology, and even drug development.
OR4K17 is part of a large family of olfactory receptors responsible for detecting different odors in the environment. Understanding the functions and mechanisms of OR4K17 could provide valuable insights into the complexities of the human sense of smell and potentially lead to the development of new therapies for disorders related to olfaction. The OR4K17 Polyclonal Antibody is a valuable tool for unlocking the mysteries of this intriguing protein and its role in sensory perception.

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.
