These T2R38 ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of T2R38 in biological samples. T2R38 is an alias of the human TAS2R38 gene, which encodes the protein, taste 2 receptor member 38. The protein is a known receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. The TAS2R38 protein is described to be 333 amino acid residues in length and 37.9 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and exclusively in gustducin-positive cells. This protein is known to be glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include PTC. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
