Tas2r136 - taste receptor, type 2, member 136

Predicted to enable bitter taste receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste. Predicted to act upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and sensory perception of taste. Predicted to be located in motile cilium. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including TAS2R19 (taste 2 receptor member 19); TAS2R20 (taste 2 receptor member 20); and TAS2R30 (taste 2 receptor member 30).
