免疫原
Synthesized peptide derived from human protein . at AA range: 110-190
特异性
TAAR8 Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.
组成
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.

背景
This gene is part of the trace amine receptor cluster on chromosome 6 and encodes an orphan G-protein coupled receptor. Upregulated expression of this gene in astroglial cells upon exposure to lipopolysaccharides suggests a function for the encoded protein in the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016],
功能
function:Orphan receptor. Could be a receptor for trace amines. Trace amines are biogenic amines present in very low levels in mammalian tissues. Although some trace amines have clearly defined roles as neurotransmitters in invertebrates, the extent to which they function as true neurotransmitters in vertebrates has remained speculative. Trace amines are likely to be involved in a variety of physiological functions that have yet to be fully understood.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in kidney and amygdala. Not expressed in other tissues or brain regions tested.,
