About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for TAS2R4: This gene encodes a member of a family of candidate taste receptors that are members of the G protein-coupled receptorsuperfamily and that are specifically expressed by taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. Theseapparently intronless genes encode a 7-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter taste receptor. Thisgene is clustered with another 3 candidate taste receptor genes in chromosome 7 and is genetically linked to loci thatinfluence bitter perception. (provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: TA2R4_HUMAN, Q9NYW5Function: Gustducin-coupled receptor for denatonium and N(6)-propyl-2-thiouracil implicated in the perception of bittercompounds in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. Signals through PLCB2 and the calcium-regulated cationchannel TRPM5. In airway epithelial cells, binding of denatonium increases the intracellular calcium ion concentrationand stimulates ciliary beat frequency Gene Wiki entry for TAS2R4 |
