Protein
Gustatory receptor for bitter taste 22e
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Gustatory receptor which mediates acceptance or avoidance behavior, depending on its substrates. Seems to be involved in the sensing of bitter taste since it is expressed in neurons that mediate sensitivity to bitter compounds which are also avoidance-type taste neurons.
Similarity
Belongs to the insect chemoreceptor superfamily. Gustatory receptor (GR) family. Gr22e subfamily.
