Gene information for TAS2R13 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID50838
Official gene symbolTAS2R13
Full nametaste receptor, type 2, member 13
Aliases,T2R13,TRB3,
Gene summaryThis gene product belongs to the family of candidate taste receptors that are members of the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily. These proteins are specifically expressed in the taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. They are organized in the genome in clusters and are genetically linked to loci that influence bitter perception in mice and humans. In functional expression studies, they respond to bitter tastants. This gene maps to the taste receptor gene cluster on chromosome 12p13. [provided by RefSeq]
