Anti-TAAR5

function:Orphan receptor. Ligands are likely small molecules, either sharing some similarities with trace amine as, e.g. derivatives of indolamines (such as 5-methoxytryptamine) or of phenylethylamines (such as phenylethanolamine) or being any kind of metabolite of amino acids or biogenic amine neurotransmitters.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed almost exclusively in skeletal muscle and selected areas of the brain, such amygdala, hippocampus, caudate nucleus, thalamus and hypothalamus. Weak expression is also find in substantia nigra., Protein function: Olfactory receptor specific for trimethylamine, a trace amine. Also activated at lower level by dimethylethylamine. Trimethylamine is a bacterial metabolite found in some animal odors, and to humans it is a repulsive odor associated with bad breath and spoiled food. This receptor is probably mediated by the G(s)-class of G-proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/20000.
