Name | TAAR8 |
---|---|
Synonyms | GPR102, TA5, TAR5, TRAR5 |
Function | Olfactory receptor specific for trace amines (By similarity). Trace amine compounds are enriched in animal body fluids and act on trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) to elicit both intraspecific and interspecific innate behaviors (By similarity). Ligand-binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via G alpha proteins, possibly G(i)/G(o) G alpha proteins (PubMed:25391046). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in kidney and amygdala. Not expressed in other tissues or brain regions tested. |
Volume | 50 µl |

Background
Orphan receptor. Could be a receptor for trace amines. Trace amines are biogenic amines present in very low levels in mammalian tissues. Although some trace amines have clearly defined roles as neurotransmitters in invertebrates, the extent to which they function as true neurotransmitters in vertebrates has remained speculative. Trace amines are likely to be involved in a variety of physiological functions that have yet to be fully understood.
