TAS2R41
Description
The TAS2R41 (taste 2 receptor member 41) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
Taste receptor type 2 member 41 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R41 gene. It is a type of taste receptor involved in the perception of bitterness, potentially playing a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. It is linked to gustducin, a protein involved in taste signaling.
TAS2R41 is a taste receptor that may be involved in perceiving bitterness. It is linked to gustducin and potentially plays a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal tract. TAS2R41's activity might stimulate alpha gustducin, activate PLC-beta-2, and ultimately open the TRPM5 channel.
TAS2R41 is also known as T2R41, T2R59.
