关于 GNAT3

功能概要

甜味、苦味和鲜味是通过特定的鸟嘌呤核苷酸结合蛋白从味觉受体传递而来的。该基因编码的蛋白质是这种异源三聚体 G 蛋白的 α 亚基，它不仅存在于口腔上皮细胞中，也存在于肠道组织中。该基因的变异与代谢综合征有关。[RefSeq 提供，2015 年 12 月]

Sweet, bitter, and umami tastes are transmitted from taste receptors by a specific guanine nucleotide binding protein. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of this heterotrimeric G protein, which is found not only in the oral epithelium but also in gut tissues. Variations in this gene have been linked to metabolic syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
