Human TAS2R38/Taste receptor type 2 member 38 ELISA Kit

A high-quality enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit from Assay Genie designed for the quantitative measurement of human Taste receptor type 2 member 38 (TAS2R38), a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor involved in the perception of bitter taste. The kit uses a sandwich ELISA format with double-antibody detection and is validated for use with human serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid biological samples. With a detection range of 0.313–20 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.188 ng/mL, the kit provides a reliable tool for signal transduction research into how this taste receptor influences food choice, dietary habits, and broader health implications related to taste perception.

Supplied reagents support a straightforward workflow and include a pre-coated microplate, lyophilized standard, biotin-labelled detection antibody, HRP-streptavidin conjugate, TMB substrate, sample and antibody dilution buffers, wash buffer, and stop solution. Recommended storage is 2–8°C for up to 12 months. The kit is intended for research use only and supports studies of the TAS2R38 receptor in sensing bitter compounds such as PTC and PROP, with applications in taste perception, nutrition, and potential therapeutic interventions.
