Gene information for TAS2R1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID50834
Official gene symbolTAS2R1
Full nametaste receptor, type 2, member 1
Aliases,MGC126778,MGC126780,T2R1,TRB7,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of a family of candidate taste receptors that are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and that are specifically expressed by taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. This intronless taste receptor gene encodes a 7-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter taste receptor. This gene is mapped to chromosome 5p15, the location of a genetic locus (PROP) that controls the detection of the bitter compound 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil. [provided by RefSeq]
