Canvax Trace Amine Associated Receptor 8 G0631-Plus

Trace Amine Associated Receptor 8, ExpressMAX™ Human GPCR ORF Clones

The discovery of a family of GPCRs, some of which bind and are activated by biogenic trace amines, has prompted speculation as to the physiological role of these receptors. Observations associated with the distribution of these trace amine associated receptors (TAARs) suggest that it may be involved in depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, eating disorders, migraine headaches and Parkinson’s disease. Preliminary in vitro data, obtained using cloned receptors, also suggest a role for TAARs in the function of hallucinogens.
