Recombinant Human Taste receptor type 1 member 3 (TAS1R3), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q7RTX0

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TAS1R3

Target Full Name

Taste receptor type 1 member 3

Target Function

Putative taste receptor. TAS1R1/TAS1R3 responds to the umami taste stimulus (the taste of monosodium glutamate). TAS1R2/TAS1R3 recognizes diverse natural and synthetic sweeteners. TAS1R3 is essential for the recognition and response to the disaccharide trehalose. Sequence differences within and between species can significantly influence the selectivity and specificity of taste responses.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

G-protein coupled receptor 3 family, TAS1R subfamily

Target Research Area

Neuroscience

Target Synonyms

G protein coupled receptor; Sac; Saccharin preference ; Sweet taste receptor T1R3; T1 R3; T1R 3; T1R3; TAS1 R3; TAS1R 3; TAS1R3; Taste receptor type 1 member 3; Taste receptor type 1 member 3 precursor ; TR 3; TR3; TS1R3_HUMAN

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in taste responses. The encoded protein can form a heterodimeric receptor with TAS1R1 to elicit the umami taste response, or it can bind with TAS1R2 to form a receptor for the sweet taste response.
