OBP2A blocking peptide
OBP2A Peptide - middle region
Target Description: This gene encodes a small extracellular protein belonging to the lipocalin superfamily. The protein is thought to transport small, hydrophobic, volatile molecules or odorants through the nasal mucus to olfactory receptors, and may also function as a scavenger of highly concentrated or toxic odors. The protein is expressed as a monomer in the nasal mucus, and can bind diverse types of odorants with a higher affinity for aldehydes and fatty acids. This gene and a highly similar family member are located in a cluster of lipocalin genes on chromosome 9. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.

Product Notes
The OBP2A obp2a (Catalog #AAA3243581) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The OBP2A Peptide - middle region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's OBP2A can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the OBP2A obp2a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: PVKVTALGGG NLEATFTFMR EDRCIQKKIL MRKTEEPGKF SAYGGRKLIY. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "OBP2A, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
