Mouse models help study the responses of bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs). TAS2Rs are predominantly found in the mouth and tissue, including the gut and lungs, and cell types such as immune cells like neutrophils. Taste receptor type 2 member 39 (Tas2r139) is a receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness. This receptor has been identified as the homolog of human TAS2R39. However, activation of the homolog differs and is helpful for comparison. For example, (-)-epicatechin gallate, typical catechin, activates human TAS2R39 but not Tas2r139. Tas2r39 did respond to resveratrol as determined by calcium assays; this is also seen with human TAS2R39.
This polyclonal antibody reacts to mouse Tas2r139; we also have an antibody to the human homolog TAS2R39 available here.
