Gene nameTAS2R42
Protein nameTaste receptor type 2
Taste receptor type 2 member 42 (T2R42) (Taste receptor type 2 member 55) (T2R55)
SynonymsTAS2R55
DescriptionFUNCTION: Receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate alpha gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5 (By similarity). .
