Alpha Diagnostic International, Inc. Rat Taste Receptor 1 (TR1) Control/blocking peptide #1 TR11-P

Rat Taste Receptor 1 (TR1) Control/blocking peptide #1 General Information three novel taste receptors, TR1, TR2 and TR3 have been cloned with distinct topographical distribution in taste receptor cells and taste buds. TR1 (rat 840 aa), TR2 (rat 843 aa) and TR3 (rat 858 aa) share ~20% homology with each other, and ~30% with CaSR SugApplications Control or blocking peptides are recommended for ELISA plate coating for direct ELISA testing of antibodies or competitive ELISA, and antibody blocking or neutralization. SpeciesReactivity Rat Form Antigen/blocking Peptide Antigen 24-aa peptide of Rat TR1 Designated (TR11-P or control peptide) conjugated to KLH epitope location ~ C-terminus SpCrossreactivity The 24 AA rat TR11-P control peptide is 100%specific for mouse and 87% conserved in human TR1. It has no significant sequence homology with TR2 or gustducin or pheromone receptors. Antibody cross-reactivity in various species has not been studied For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
