glossopharyngeaalin
Glossopharyngeaalin is a protein that belongs to the rhodopsin family of G-protein-coupled receptors. It is primarily expressed in the sensory cells of the glossopharyngeal nerve, which is the ninth cranial nerve in humans. The glossopharyngeal nerve plays a crucial role in various sensory functions, including taste, swallowing, and visceral sensations.
The gene encoding glossopharyngeaalin is located on chromosome 17q21.3. Mutations in this gene have been associated
The protein is a seven-transmembrane domain receptor that couples to G proteins. Upon activation, it can modulate
In summary, glossopharyngeaalin is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed in the glossopharyngeal nerve, playing a role in
