Trace Amine Associated Receptor 3, Pseudogene (TAAR3P) Antibody

Background

TAAR3P is a putative member of the trace amine-associated receptor family. As a pseudogene, it is believed to share homology with other functional trace amine-associated receptors but lacks the ability to encode a functional protein due to mutations or deletions in its gene. While its precise role in signaling pathways is not well understood, trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) typically interact with biogenic amines such as phenylethylamine and tryptamine, influencing the regulation of mood, cognition, and sensory processing. The potential involvement of TAAR3P in neuropsychiatric conditions remains speculative, and further research may clarify whether this receptor could have a functional role or be used as a target for therapeutic development.
