Gene Description

TAS2R44 belongs to the large TAS2R receptor family. TAS2Rs are expressed on the surface of taste receptor cells and mediate the perception of bitterness through a G protein-coupled second messenger pathway (Conte et al., 2002 (PubMed 12584440)). For further information on TAS2Rs, see MIM 604791.(supplied by OMIM, Mar 2009)
