Gene Symbol TAS2R41
Protein Name taste receptor, type 2, member 41
Synonyms
Species Homo sapiens
Ensembl Protein ENSP00000386201
InnateDB Gene IDBG-281704 (TAS2R41)
Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate alpha gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Localization Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and exclusively in gustducin-positive cells.
