Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes trace amine-associated receptor 6 (gene TAAR6) in human, monkey, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 38.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 38 kDa.
Trace amine-associated receptor 6 (TAAR6) is a G protein-coupled receptor of the TAAR family, which responds to trace amines such as β-phenylethylamine. TAARs are expressed in olfactory tissue and brain, and TAAR6 is studied in neuropharmacology and chemosensation.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Monkey, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human 293T cells, monkey COS-7 cells, human U-87MG cells, human U251 cells, rat brain tissue, mouse brain tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): HEL cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the middle region of human TAAR6. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 93.3% and 92.9%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, monkey, mouse and rat. UniProt places trace amine-associated receptor 6 in the cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed at low abundance in various brain tissues, as well as in fetal liver, but not in the cerebellum or placenta. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
