Primary Identifier | MGI:1933547 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 83771 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity and taste receptor activity. Predicted to contribute to sweet taste receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within sensory perception of sweet taste. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be part of sweet taste receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in circumvallate papillae and tongue anterior part. Orthologous to human TAS1R3 (taste 1 receptor member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mutation of this locus affects taste perception. Complete inactivation results in diminished behavioral and nervous repsonses to both sweet and umami tastants. [provided by MGI curators] |
