Taar4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables 2-phenylethylamine receptor activity and trace-amine receptor activity. Involved in behavioral fear response; chemosensory behavior; and sensory perception of chemical stimulus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in Grueneberg ganglion; nasal septum; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human TAAR4P (trace amine associated receptor 4, pseudogene).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Taar4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
