Anti-TAS2R16 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein taste 2 receptor member 16. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 291 amino acid residues and a mass of 34 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is reported to be expressed in a subset of gustducin-positive taste receptor cells of the tongue. A member of the G-protein coupled receptor T2R protein family, TAS2R16 is known to be a gustducin-coupled receptor implicated in the perception of bitter compounds in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include T2R16, taste receptor type 2 member 16, candidate taste receptor T2R16, taste receptor, type 2, member 16, and BGLPT. TAS2R16 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Western Blot is the most common application for the TAS2R16 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
