Primary Identifier | MGI:1927505 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 110326 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity and taste receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in sensory perception of umami taste. Predicted to act upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and sensory perception of taste. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in tongue anterior part. Orthologous to human TAS1R1 (taste 1 receptor member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice show diminished behavioral and nervous responses to umami tastants. Response to sweet tastants is unimpaired. [provided by MGI curators] |
