| Gene Symbol | TAAR6 |
| Chromosome | 6q23.2 |
| Protein Type | Gene |
| Function | is a member of the trace amine-associated receptor (TAAR) family of G protein-coupled receptors. |
| Primary Expression | brain regions associated with emotional processing and motor control, where it modulates monoaminergic neurotransmission |
| Amino Acids | 361 aa |
| GeneCards | TAAR6 |
| Human Protein Atlas | TAAR6 |
| N-terminus | Short extracellular domain with potential glycosylation sites |
| Transmembrane domains | Seven hydrophobic helices (TM1-TM7) that form the ligand-binding pocket |
| C-terminus | Intracellular tail with serine/threonine residues for phosphorylation |
| Conserved motifs | DRY motif in TM3 and NPxxY motif in TM7 are conserved |
| Olfactory bulb | High expression, consistent with a role in olfactory signal processing |
| Hippocampus | Moderate expression in pyramidal cell layers |
| Amygdala | Expression in nuclei involved in emotional processing |
| Associated Diseases | Parkinson's disease |
