TAAR

TAAR

Trace amine associated-receptors (TAARs) are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that were discovered in 2001.While some fish species express over 100 functional isoforms, humans only have six (TAAR1, TAAR2, TAAR5, TAAR6, TAAR8, and TAAR9). It serves as the trace amines' endogenous receptor. Endogenous compounds known as trace amines are traditionally believed to include β-phenylethyalmine, p-tyramine, tryptamine, p-octopamine, and certain of their metabolites.

The main olfactory system's chemosensory receptors are the primary function of all other TAARs, but TAAR 1 has been shown to be a novel modulator of dopaminergic, serotonergic, and glutamatergic activity in the brain. Furthermore, TAAR 1 has been found to be a novel therapeutic target for addiction, depression, and schizophrenia. Peripherally, TAAR1 controls the release of hormones induced by nutrition, indicating that it may be a new target for treating obesity and diabetes. TAAR1 may also control leukocyte activation and differentiation, which in turn controls immune responses.
