T2R8 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Electrophoresis & Labeling Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding theTAS2R8 product belongs to the family of candidate taste receptors that are members of the G protein coupled receptor superfamily. These proteins are specifically expressed in the taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. They are organized in the genome in clusters and are genetically linked to loci that influence bitter perception in mice and humans. In functional expression studies, they respond to bitter tastants. This gene maps to
