| Uniprot ID: | TA2R8_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | 200-250 aa |
| Specificity: | Specific for TAS2R8. |
| Immunogen: | A synthetic peptide from aa region 200-250 of human TAS2R8 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. |
| Function | Receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate alpha gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5. |
