Description

Human TAS2R38 / Taste receptor type 2 member 38 ELISA Kit

TAS2R38 encodes a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor that controls the ability to taste glucosinolates, a family of bitter-tasting compounds found in plants of the Brassica genus. This receptor is linked to Phenylthiocarbamide and 6-n-Propylth. Although numerous allelic forms of TAS2R38 have been identified worldwide, there are only two prevalent common variants (taster and non-taster) seen outside of Africa. Thiourea tasting and dental caries are diseases associated with TAS2R38. TAS2R38 may be involved in detecting chemical composition of the stomach contents. TAS2R38 activity might activate alpha gustducin, lead to PLC-beta-2 activation, and cause TRPM5 gate opening.
