Rabbit Anti-TAS2R16/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes a member of a family of candidate tastereceptors that are members of the G protein-coupled receptorsuperfamily. These family members are specifically expressed bytaste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. Each ofthese apparently intronless genes encodes a 7-transmembranereceptor protein, functioning as a bitter taste receptor. This geneis clustered with another 3 candidate taste receptor genes inchromosome 7 and is genetically linked to loci that influencebitter perception. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
Function:
TAS2R16 is a member of a family of candidate taste receptors that are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. These family members are specifically expressed by taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. Each of these apparently intronless genes encodes a 7-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter taste receptor. Clustered with another 3 candidate taste receptor genes in chromosome 7 it is genetically linked to loci that influence bitter perception.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in a subset of gustducin-positivetaste receptor cells of the tongue.
Similarity:
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor T2R family.
