TAS1R1 taste 1 receptor member 1

Gene ID: 80835, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TR1; T1R1; GM148; GPR70

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor and is a component of the heterodimeric amino acid taste receptor T1R1+3. The T1R1+3 receptor responds to L-amino acids but not to D-enantiomers or other compounds. Most amino acids that are perceived as sweet activate T1R1+3, and this activation is strictly dependent on an intact T1R1+3 heterodimer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
