Taar4 | Trace amine-associated receptor 4; Olfactory receptor specific for 2-phenylethylamine, a trace amine present at high concentration in the urine of carnivore species, playing a key role in fear and avoidance responses. 2-phenylethylamine acts as a kairomone in the chemical detection of carnivore odor and triggers fear in mice. This receptor is probably mediated by the G(s)- class of G-proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. (347 aa) |
