Gene: TAS2R4
Official Full Name: taste 2 receptor member 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of candidate taste receptors that are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and that are specifically expressed by taste receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. These apparently intronless genes encode a 7-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter taste receptor. This gene is clustered with another 3 candidate taste receptor genes in chromosome 7 and is genetically linked to loci that influence bitter perception. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

TAS2R4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models that serve as valuable tools for studying the function of the TAS2R4 gene, which encodes a human bitter taste receptor involved in the detection of specific bitter compounds. By creating knockout versions of these cell lines, researchers can effectively eliminate the expression of the TAS2R4 gene, allowing for the investigation of its role in bitter taste perception, signal transduction pathways, and potential implications in various physiological processes.
The key mechanisms underlying the functionality of these knockout cell lines include their ability to mimic the loss-of-function scenarios of TAS2R4, enabling scientists to observe the downstream effects of receptor absence in cellular responses to bitter ligands. This is crucial for understanding the molecular signaling cascades activated following taste receptor stimulation and how these cascades can influence other biological pathways within the cells.
From a scientific standpoint, TAS2R4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines have significant applications in both research and clinical settings. They can be employed in pharmacological studies to identify novel drugs that modulate bitter taste receptors, evaluate the influence of genetic variations on taste perception, and explore the receptor's involvement in conditions such as obesity, metabolic disorders, and certain behavioral responses to food intake.
Unique selling points of these cell lines compared to alternatives include their high specificity, ease of use, and reproducible results. They provide researchers with a reliable model that can be utilized across various experimental conditions, enabling high-throughput screening of compounds that may influence taste receptor activity, something not easily achieved with traditional models.
For researchers and clinicians alike, TAS2R4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a powerful resource for advancing understanding in taste biology and its implications for human health. The ability to dissect the nuances of bitter taste signaling can lead to innovative approaches in therapeutic development and nutritional science.
