Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Target description

Olfactory receptor 14I1 (UniProt: A6ND48; also known as Olfactory receptor 5BU1) is encoded by the OR14I1 (also known as OR5BU1, OR5BU1P) gene (Gene ID: 401994) in human. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. They interact with odorant molecules in the nose to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. Olfactory receptor 14I1, a part of the type II group of olfactory receptors, is a multi-pass membrane protein with four extracellular domains, seven transmembrane domains, and four cytoplasmic domains. It initiates a cascade of cellular signal transduction events that involves adenylate cyclase and protein kinase A. OR14I1 is also reported to be a host receptor a pentameric complex (gH-gL-UL128-UL130-UL131A) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). It is required for HCMV attachment, entry, and infection of epithelial cells. Exogenous OR14I1 protein in membrane vesicles or a synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of OR14I1 is shown to block HCMV entry into epithelial cells. This ZooMAbZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
