function:Gustducin-coupled receptor for denatonium and N(6)-propyl-2-thiouracil implicated in the perception of bitter compounds in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. Signals through PLCB2 and the calcium-regulated cation channel TRPM5.,miscellaneous:Several bitter taste receptors are expressed in a single taste receptor cell.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor T2R family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelium and exclusively in gustducin-positive cells.,
Membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell projection, cilium membrane . In airway epithelial cells, localizes to motile cilia.
Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelium and exclusively in gustducin-positive cells. Expressed on airway ciliated epithelium.
