Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP05629
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Taste receptor type 2 member 20
Description Not Available
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name TAS2R20
Protein Type Receptor
Biological Properties
General Function G protein-coupled receptor activity
Specific 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 (By similarity).
