The OR7C2 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO01260) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the OR7C2 protein, a member of the olfactory receptor family involved in odor detection. This antibody, produced in rabbits, shows high reactivity with human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the OR7C2 protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of OR7C2 expression in various cell types, making it ideal for studies in olfactory biology and sensory perception research.
OR7C2, a key player in the olfactory system, is responsible for detecting specific odors and initiating the olfactory signal transduction cascade. Understanding the function and regulation of OR7C2 is essential for unraveling the complex mechanisms of odor detection and processing. By studying OR7C2, researchers can gain insights into the molecular basis of olfaction and potentially develop novel approaches for treating olfactory disorders or enhancing sensory perception.

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.
