About This Section

EntrezGene summary for TAAR8:
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs, or GPRs) contain 7 transmembrane domains and transduce
extracellular signals through heterotrimeric G proteins.[supplied by OMIM]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: TAAR8_HUMAN, Q969N4
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
