Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Anti-OR1D2 antibody detects endogenous levels of total OR1D2 protein._x000D_ The OR1D2 (olfactory receptor family 1 subfamily D member 2) gene is located on human chromosome 17p13.3. The gene is considered as the first olfactory receptor expressed in the nose. It is also found to be expressed in spermatozoa. The encoded protein is a member of G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and exists as a homo-oligomer._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human OR1D2._x000D_ Immunogen Range: 201-250_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ The protein encoded by OR1D2 (olfactory receptor family 1 subfamily D member 2) gene takes part in the process of fertilization by mediating the communication between the sperm and egg via chemotaxis. Sperm expressing OR1D2 is known to migrate toward odorant ligands such as lilial, floralozone and bourgeonal._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
