| Function |
Gustducin-coupled receptor implicated in the perception of bitter compounds in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. Signals through PLCB2 and the calcium-regulated cation channel TRPM5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10761934, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10761935}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelium and exclusively in gustducin- positive cells. Expressed in the antrum and fundus (part of the stomach), duodenum and in gastric endocrine cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10761934}.
