SYNONYMS

Olfactory neuronal-specific protein, Olfactory marker protein, OMP.

INTRODUCTION

Olfactory marker protein (OMP) which is expressed in the cytoplasm of olfactory chemosensory neurons in the nasal neuroepithelium, is associated in a unique way with the mature olfactory receptor neurons in numerous vertebrate species. OMP have a modulatory part in the odor detection/signal transduction cascade ant its expression is a sign of mature vertebrate olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). OMP is also a potent enhancer of mitosis in fetal olfactory epithelial cells and it promotes an increase in uptake of tritiated thymidine in liver.

DESCRIPTION

OMP Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 186 amino acids (1-163 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 21.3kDa. OMP is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

SOURCE

E.coli.
