TAS1R1 antibody detects Taste receptor type 1 member 1, encoded by the TAS1R1 gene. Taste receptor type 1 member 1 is a G protein-coupled receptor that forms a heterodimer with TAS1R3 to detect umami flavor, specifically amino acids such as glutamate. TAS1R1 antibody provides researchers with a specific reagent for studying chemosensory biology, taste signaling, and G protein-coupled receptor function.
Taste receptor type 1 member 1 belongs to the class C family of GPCRs, which includes metabotropic glutamate and GABA receptors. Research using TAS1R1 antibody has shown that when paired with TAS1R3, it functions as the principal umami receptor in taste buds. Binding of amino acids activates G protein signaling, leading to calcium release and neurotransmitter secretion in taste cells. This response enables perception of savory taste.
Studies with TAS1R1 antibody have revealed expression beyond the tongue. Taste receptor type 1 member 1 is found in gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and brain, where it may regulate nutrient sensing, hormone secretion, and feeding behavior. These extraoral functions suggest that TAS1R1 contributes to metabolic control as well as taste perception.
Dysregulation of TAS1R1 has been linked to metabolic disorders. Research using TAS1R1 antibody has shown that altered receptor expression or function affects glucose metabolism, appetite regulation, and insulin secretion. This expands the relevance of TAS1R1 from taste biology to systemic metabolic health.
In addition to metabolism, TAS1R1 has been implicated in cancer. Studies with TAS1R1 antibody have reported altered expression in gastric and pancreatic tumors, where nutrient-sensing pathways are hijacked for growth. These findings highlight the clinical importance of TAS1R1 in disease contexts.
TAS1R1 antibody is widely applied in immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and receptor localization studies. Immunohistochemistry highlights expression in taste buds and gastrointestinal tissues, western blotting quantifies receptor expression, and receptor assays demonstrate functionality. These applications make TAS1R1 antibody a valuable tool in sensory and metabolic research.
By providing validated TAS1R1 antibody reagents, NSJ Bioreagents supports studies into taste signaling, metabolism, and disease. Detection of Taste receptor type 1 member 1 provides researchers with insights into how GPCRs regulate sensory perception and metabolic pathways.
Optimal dilution of the TAS1R1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
E.coli-derived mouse TAS1R1 recombinant protein (Position: E102-T842) was used as the immunogen for the TAS1R1 antibody.
After reconstitution, the TAS1R1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
