Predicted to enable bitter taste receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum; external side of plasma membrane; and trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be active in membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence. Orthologous to human TAS2R16 (taste 2 receptor member 16).
