Taste receptor type 2 member 13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R13 gene. [5] [6] [7]
This gene 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 the taste receptor gene cluster on chromosome 12p13. [7]
TAS2R16 is a human gene that encodes for a receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness.
Taste receptor type 2 member 1 (TAS2R1/T2R1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R1 gene. It belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and is related to class A-like GPCRs, they contain 7 transmembrane helix bundles and short N-terminus loop. Furthermore, TAS2R1 is member of the 25 known human bitter taste receptors, which enable the perception of bitter taste in the mouth cavity. Increasing evidence indicates a functional role of TAS2Rs in extra-oral tissues.
Taste receptor type 2 member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R3 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R4 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R8 gene.

Taste receptor type 2 member 10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R10 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 14 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R14 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R5 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R7 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 39 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R39 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 40 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R40 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 41 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R41 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 43 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R43 gene.

Taste receptor type 2 member 30 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R30 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 19 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R19 gene. It seems to be involved in the perception of salt and bitter tastes.
Taste receptor type 2 member 20 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R20 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 50 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R50 gene.
Taste receptor type 2 member 60 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R60 gene.
