Biological function summary

TAS2R39 functions as a critical receptor for bitter taste recognition contributing to the sense of taste in organisms. The receptor is part of a complex signaling network that involves the binding of bitter compounds triggering intracellular signaling cascades. Activation of TAS2R39 induces conformational changes in the receptor leading to the activation of associated G proteins that convey the signal within taste cells ultimately resulting in a bitter taste sensation.

Pathways

TAS2R39 operates within the bitter taste transduction pathway and plays a major role in the gustatory signaling system. This receptor interacts closely with the gustducin protein a G protein involved in taste signaling pathways. The functional cascade prompted by TAS2R39 activation illustrates how taste perception integrates into the larger network of sensory transduction pathways essential for interpreting gustatory stimuli.
