Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Taste receptor type 2 member 10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS2R10 gene .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] The protein is responsible for bitter taste recognition in mammals. It serves as a defense mechanism to prevent consumption of toxic substances which often have a characteristic bitter taste.[ 8]
