T1R3 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in taste responses. The encoded protein can form a heterodimeric receptor with TAS1R1 to elicit the umami taste response, or it can bind with TAS1R2 to form a receptor for the sweet taste response. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015], function:Putative taste receptor. TAS1R1/TAS1R3 responds to the umami taste stimulus (the taste of monosodium glutamate) . TAS1R2/TAS1R3 recognizes diverse natural and synthetic sweeteners. TAS1R3 is essential for the recognition and response to the disaccharide trehalose (By similarity) . Sequence differences within and between species can significantly influence the selectivity and specificity of taste responses., online information:The taste experience -Issue 55 of February 2005, similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. TAS1R subfamily., subunit:Forms homodimers or heterodimers with TAS1R1 and TAS1R2.
