Olfactory receptor 1D2 (Olfactory receptor 17-4) (OR17-4) (Olfactory receptor OR17-6) (Olfactory receptor-like protein HGMP07E), OR1D2, OLFR1
Odorant receptor which may be involved in sperm chemotaxis. Bourgeonal is a strong chemoattractant for sperm in vitro and is shown to be a strong agonist for OR1D2 in vitro. May also function in olfactory reception.
Applications
Suitable for use in FLISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
