TAAR9/TA3 is an Orphan-A GPCR because the ligand has not been identified. TAAR9/TA3 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 TAAR9/TA3 is likely to bind a related or unidentified amine. TAAR9/TA3 has been reported to be expressed only in kidney.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry (paraffin-embedded sections). Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 3 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
