The OR8G1 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO03844) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the olfactory receptor OR8G1, a protein involved in the detection of specific odors. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in various research applications, including Western blotting.OR8G1, a member of the olfactory receptor family, plays a key role in the sense of smell by detecting different odor molecules. Research on OR8G1 is important for understanding how the olfactory system functions and how specific odors are perceived.
This antibody binds specifically to the OR8G1 protein, allowing for its detection and analysis in a wide range of experimental settings.By studying OR8G1, researchers can gain insights into various physiological processes related to olfaction, including taste perception, memory formation, and even emotional responses. This antibody is a valuable tool for investigating the role of OR8G1 in these processes and may lead to a deeper understanding of how our sense of smell influences our daily lives.

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. This family member represents a polymorphic pseudogene, whereby some individuals have a functional allele that encodes a full-length protein, while others have a non-functional allele due to the presence of an early stop codon and a 3' end deletion.
