TAAR6 (Y-17) Anticorps: sc-55331

TAAR6 Background Information
Trace amines are endogenous molecules structurally related to classical biogenic amines that are linked to psychiatric conditions. TAAR9 belongs to a family of G protein-coupled receptors, referred to as trace-amine-associated receptors (TAAR), which are activated by trace amines and are present in very low levels in mammalian tissue. TAARs contain several structural features that are similar to the rhodopsin β-adrenergic receptor superfamily, including the positions of the seven transmembrane regions that provide common ligand-binding pockets as well as the short N- and C-terminal do-mains. TAAR proteins are potential targets for studying amine-containing drugs of abuse, such as amphetamines and MDMA, as well as neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, depression and attention deficit disorder.
