TAS2R60
Description
The TAS2R60 (taste 2 receptor member 60) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
TAS2R60 is a human gene encoding a protein involved in taste perception. It is associated with the sense of bitterness and plays a role in the gustducin-mediated taste signaling pathway.
TAS2R60 is a taste receptor potentially involved in detecting bitterness. It is linked to gustducin, a protein involved in taste signal transduction. TAS2R60 may also play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal tract. Upon activation, it stimulates alpha gustducin, activates PLC-beta-2, and ultimately leads to the opening of TRPM5 channels.
TAS2R60 is also known as T2R56, T2R60.
