The OR8S1 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO01263) is a high-quality research tool designed for studying OR8S1, a member of the olfactory receptor family crucial for detecting odors. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits strong reactivity towards human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to OR8S1 protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in various cell types, making it perfect for research in olfactory biology and sensory perception.
OR8S1, a key player in olfactory signal transduction, is essential for the detection and discrimination of specific odors in the environment. Understanding the function and regulation of OR8S1 is vital for unraveling the mechanisms underlying olfactory perception and behavior. Research on OR8S1 may also have implications in areas such as food and fragrance industries, as well as in developing therapies for olfactory-related disorders and dysfunctions.

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.
