About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for TAS2R50: TAS2R50 belongs to the large TAS2R receptor family. TAS2Rs are expressed on the surface of taste receptor cells andmediate the perception of bitterness through a G protein-coupled second messenger pathway (Conte et al., 2002 (PubMed12584440)). See also TAS2R10 (MIM 604791).(supplied by OMIM) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: T2R50_HUMAN, P59544Function: Receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role insensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate alphagustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5 (By similarity) Gene Wiki entry for TAS2R50 |
