Full name: taste 2 receptor member 41

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: T2R41; T2R59

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the bitter taste receptor family which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and are predominantly expressed in taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. This intronless taste receptor gene encodes a seven-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter taste receptor. This gene is clustered together with eight other taste receptor genes on chromosome 7. Chloramphenicol is an agonist for the encoded protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
