About TAS2R1

Cytogenetic location: 5p15.31-p15.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:9,627,347-9,903,876 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 162 orthologues and 23 paralogues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of candidate taste receptors that are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and that are specifically expressed by Taste Receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. This intronless Taste Receptor gene encodes a 7-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter Taste Receptor. This gene is mapped to chromosome 5p15, the location of a genetic locus (PROP) that controls the detection of the bitter compound 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
