Rabbit Anti-TAAR8 (Trace Amine-associated Receptor 8, TaR-8, Trace Amine Receptor 8, G-protein Coupled Receptor 102, Trace Amine Receptor 5, TaR-5, GPR102, TA5, TAR5, TRAR5)
TAAR8 is classified as an Orphan-A GPCR because the ligand has not been identified. TAAR8 was identified by degenerate PCR because of its similarity to other trace amine receptors. The close proximity on chromosome 6 and high sequence homology to the other trace amine receptors suggest that TAAR8 is likely to bind a related or unidentified amine.
