Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor that likely functions as a receptor for endogenous trace amines. Mutations in this gene may be associated with schizophrenia.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010] |

Protein name |
Trace amine-associated receptor 6 (TaR-6) (Trace amine receptor 6) (Trace amine receptor 4) (TaR-4) |
Protein function |
Olfactory receptor specific for trace amines, such as beta-phenylethylamine (beta-PEA). Trace amine compounds are enriched in animal body fluids and act on trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) to elicit both intraspecific and interspecific i |
