General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-01036) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human OR6K2. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. OR6K2 is a protein-coding gene in humans that encodes olfactory receptor family 6 subfamily K member 2 (OR6K2), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) responsible for detecting specific odorant molecules in the olfactory epithelium of the nose. This receptor belongs to the large superfamily of olfactory receptors, which are characterized by a seven-transmembrane domain structure and play a crucial role in the initial transduction of chemical signals into neuronal responses that enable the perception of smell. The OR6K2 gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1 at position 1q23.1, spanning approximately 975 base pairs on the reverse strand, and arises from a single coding exon typical of olfactory receptor genes. Like other members of its family, OR6K2 mediates G protein signaling upon ligand binding, contributing to the diversity of odor detection in the human genome's largest gene family. While the specific odorants recognized by OR6K2 remain to be fully characterized, its expression is primarily restricted to olfactory sensory neurons, underscoring its specialized function in olfaction.
DPABH-01036 is suitable for use in WB 1 (500-1:1000), IF/ICC 1 (100-1:500) applications.
DPABH-01036 is supplied as a liquid formulation in Phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
