Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from human TAS2R43 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The antibody generated using this antigen is expected to also recognise TAS2R44, TAS2R46, TAS2R47 and TAS2R49.
Accession
Also known
Taste receptor type 2 member 43, T2R43, T2R52, TAS2R43
Target
FUNCTION: Receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate alpha gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5. Activated by the sulfonyl amide sweeteners saccharin and acesulfame K.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and exclusively in gustducin-positive cells.
MISCELLANEOUS: Most taste cells may be activated by a limited number of bitter compounds; individual taste cells can discriminate among bitter stimuli.
Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Expiry Date
