CC   -!- FUNCTION: Receptor that may play a role in the perception of
CC       bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role in sensing the
CC       chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity
CC       of this receptor may stimulate alpha gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2
CC       activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells
CC       of the tongue and palate epithelium and exclusively in gustducin-
CC       positive cells.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Most taste cells may be activated by a limited
CC       number of bitter compounds; individual taste cells can
CC       discriminate among bitter stimuli.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor T2R family.
