Entrez ID 259285
Gene name Taste 2 receptor member 39
Gene symbol TAS2R39
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
T2R39T2R57
Chromosome 7
Chromosome location 7q34
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a bitter taste receptor that detects green tea catechins, soy isoflavones, and theaflavins. The encoded protein is gustducin-linked and may activate alpha gustducin. This gene is intronless. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 201
