About This Section

EntrezGene summary for TAAR6:
The TAAR6 (TRAR4) gene belongs to the trace amine receptor family. Trace amines are endogenous
amine compounds that are chemically similar to classic biogenic amines like dopamine,
norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine. Trace amines were thought to be 'false
transmitters' that displace classic biogenic amines from their storage and act on
transporters in a fashion similar to the amphetamines, but the identification of brain receptors
specific to trace amines indicates that they also have effects of their own (Duan et al., 2004
[PubMed 15329799]).[supplied by OMIM]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: TAAR6_HUMAN, Q96RI8
Function: 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
