Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Name | TAS2R38 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | PTC |
| Function | Receptor that may play a role in the perception of bitterness and is gustducin-linked. May play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate alpha gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5 (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in subsets of taste receptor cells of the tongue and exclusively in gustducin-positive cells. Expressed in testis (PubMed:16720576). |

Background
This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupledreceptor that controls the ability to taste glucosinolates, afamily of bitter-tasting compounds found in plants of the Brassicasp. Synthetic compounds phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) have been identified as ligands forthis receptor and have been used to test the genetic diversity ofthis gene. Although several allelic forms of this gene have beenidentified worldwide, there are two predominant common forms(taster and non-taster) found outside of Africa. These allelesdiffer at three nucleotide positions resulting in amino acidchanges in the protein (A49P, A262V, and V296I) with the amino acidcombination PAV identifying the taster variant (and AVI identifyingthe non-taster variant).
