Trace amine-associated receptor 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAAR8 gene .[1] [2] [3] trace amine-associated receptor that is known to be Gi/o -coupled .[4]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs, or GPRs) contain 7 transmembrane domains and transduce extracellular signals through heterotrimeric G proteins.[supplied by OMIM][3]
