- Gene Symbol:
- TAS2R46
Homo sapiens - Full name:
- taste 2 receptor member 46
- Synonyms:
- T2R46, T2R54, taste receptor type 2 member 46, taste receptor type 2 member 54, taste receptor, type 2, member 46
- Genomic Location:
- Chr 12: 11105231-11106160
- Description:
-
TAS2R46 belongs to the large TAS2R receptor family. TAS2Rs are expressed on the surface of taste receptor cells and mediate the perception of bitterness through a G protein-coupled second messenger pathway (Conte et al., 2002 [PubMed 12584440]). For further information on TAS2Rs, see MIM 604791.
