Gr28b

Gene
Gr28b
Protein
Putative gustatory receptor 28b
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Length
470 amino acids
Function
Probable gustatory receptor which mediates acceptance or avoidance behavior, depending on its substrates (By similarity). Atypical expression suggests also nongustatory roles in the nervous system and tissues involved in proprioception, hygroreception, and other sensory modalities. It is also possible that it has chemosensory roles in the detection of internal ligands.
Similarity
Belongs to the insect chemoreceptor superfamily. Gustatory receptor (GR) family. Gr66a subfamily.
