GNAT3

Also known as GDCA, G protein subunit alpha transducin 3, HG1E

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(t) subunit alpha-3, also known as gustducin alpha-3 chain, is a protein subunit that in humans is encoded by the GNAT3 gene.

Gene data

GNAT3

Name: G protein subunit alpha transducin 3
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: GDCA, HG1E

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].

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(t) subunit alpha-3, also known as gustducin alpha-3 chain, is a protein subunit that in humans is encoded by the GNAT3 gene.

Gustducin alpha-3 chain is a subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein gustducin that is responsible for basic taste.
