G protein subunit alpha transducin 3

gustducin

GDCA

guanine nucleotide binding protein, alpha transducing 3

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(t) subunit alpha-3

Gustducin alpha-3 chain

Sweet, bitter, and umami tastes are transmitted from taste receptors by a specific guanine nucleotide binding protein. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of this heterotrimeric G protein, which is found not only in the oral epithelium but also in gut tissues. Variations in this gene have been linked to metabolic syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015].
