NMB Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Cell Biology TAS2R14 maps to the taste

TAS2R14 maps to the taste receptor gene cluster on chromosome 12p13

noninactivating channel

It plays a role in mediating cell fate decisions during hematopoiesis

but the significance of each is presently unknown

Mutations in this gene have been associated with atherosclerosis and a higher risk of myocardial infarction

NMB Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Cell Biology TAS2R14 maps to the tasteThis gene encodes a member of the bombesin like family of neuropeptides, which negatively regulate eating behavior. The encoded protein may regulate colonic smooth muscle contraction through binding to its cognate receptor, the neuromedin B receptor (NMBR). Polymorphisms of this gene may be associated with hunger, weight gain and obesity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
