Olfactory marker protein is uniquely associated with the
mature olfactory receptor neurons in many vertebrate species from
fish to man. The OMP gene structure and protein sequence are
highly conserved between mouse, rat and human. Results of the
mouse knockout studies show that OMP-null mice are compromised in
their ability to respond to odor stimuli, and that OMP represents a
novel modulatory component of the odor detection/signal
transduction cascade.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
Immunogen
This OMP antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 13-41 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human OMP.
