Taste receptor type 1 member 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS1R2 gene.== Protein composition ==The protein encoded by the TAS1R2 gene is a G protein-coupled receptor with seven trans-membrane domains and is a component of the heterodimeric amino acid taste receptor T1R2+3. This receptor is formed as a dimer of the TAS1R2 and TAS1R3 proteins. Moreover the TAS1R2 protein is not functional without formation of the 2+3 heterodimer.
