Background Descriptions | Trace amines are endogenous molecules structurally related to classical biogenic amines that are linked to psychiatric conditions. A family of G-protein coupled receptors referred to as trace-amine-associated receptors (TAAR) are activated by trace amines and are present in very low levels in mammalian tissue. TaRs contain several structural features that are similar to the rhodopsin ∫-adrenergic receptor superfamily, including the positions of the seven transmembrane regions that provide common ligand-binding pockets as well as the short N- and C-terminal domains. TAAR proteins are potential targets for drugs of abuse, such as amphetamine and MDMA, as well as neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, depression, and attention deficit disorder. |

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. |
