The TAS2R40 protein, a member of the human taste receptor type 2 (TAS2R) family, is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) primarily associated with bitter taste perception. It is expressed in taste receptor cells on the tongue, where it detects specific bitter compounds, triggering signaling cascades that translate chemical stimuli into neural signals. Beyond the oral cavity, TAS2R40 is found in extra-oral tissues like the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory epithelium, and pancreas, suggesting roles in nutrient sensing, gut motility, and metabolic regulation.
Recombinant TAS2R40 protein, produced via heterologous expression systems (e.g., HEK293 or insect cells), enables mechanistic studies of ligand-receptor interactions and downstream signaling. Structurally, it features seven transmembrane domains characteristic of GPCRs, with ligand-binding specificity shaped by its extracellular loops and transmembrane helices. TAS2R40 activation often involves coupling with gustducin, a G-protein critical for bitter signal transduction.
Research highlights its sensitivity to specific bitter molecules, including pharmaceuticals and plant metabolites. Polymorphisms in the TAS2R40 gene correlate with individual variations in bitter taste perception, influencing dietary preferences and disease susceptibility. Recombinant TAS2R40 serves as a tool for exploring bitter taste modulation, developing bitterness-masking agents, and investigating its therapeutic potential in metabolic or inflammatory disorders linked to bitter sensing pathways.
