TAS2R50 taste 2 receptor member 50 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: TAS2R50provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: taste 2 receptor member 50provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:18882
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000212126 MIM:609627; AllianceGenome:HGNC:18882
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: T2R50; T2R51; TAS2R51
Summary: TAS2R50 belongs to the large TAS2R receptor family. TAS2Rs are expressed on the surface of taste receptor cells and mediate the perception of bitterness through a G protein-coupled second messenger pathway (Conte et al., 2002 [PubMed 12584440]). See also TAS2R10 (MIM 604791).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

genetic association studies in populations in Northern Europe, Maghreb, and Sri Lanka: Data suggest that SNPs in TAS2R50 (rs1376251), TRPM5 (rs800345), and TAS2R16 (rs860170) are associated with cultural food preferences; TAS2R16 (rs860170) strongly differentiates populations and is associated to salicin bitterness perception.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
