TAS2R8 Antibodies
AND TAS2R8 ELISA kits, TAS2R8 Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect TAS2R8, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with TAS2R8 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop TAS2R8 antibodies...

TAS2R8 Overview
Facts about Taste receptor type 2 member 8.
Taste receptor type 2 member 8 (TAS2R8)
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. .
