Automated Description
Enables bitter taste receptor activity. Involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a member of the bitter taste receptor family which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and are predominantly expressed in taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. This intronless taste receptor gene encodes a seven-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter taste receptor. This gene is clustered together with eight other taste receptor genes on chromosome 7. A decrease in the expression of this gene is associated with hypogeusia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
