Gene information for TAS1R1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID80835
Official gene symbolTAS1R1
Full nametaste receptor, type 1, member 1
Aliases,GPR70,T1R1,TR1,gm148,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor and is a component of the heterodimeric amino acid taste receptor T1R1+3. The T1R1+3 receptor responds to L-amino acids but not to D-enantiomers or other compounds. Most amino acids that are perceived as sweet activate T1R1+3, and this activation is strictly dependent on an intact T1R1+3 heterodimer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
