Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets olfactory marker protein (gene OMP) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 18.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 17 kDa.
Olfactory marker protein (OMP) is a small cytoplasmic protein highly expressed in mature olfactory sensory neurons. It is thought to modulate the speed and sensitivity of olfactory signal transduction and is widely used as a marker of mature olfactory neurons.

Immunogen
Recombinant human OMP fragment (Glu43–Leu163), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places olfactory marker protein in the cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Uniquely associated with mature olfactory receptor neurons. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
