TAAR8

Olfactory receptor specific for trace amines (By similarity). Trace amine compounds are enriched in animal body fluids and act on trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) to elicit both intraspecific and interspecific innate behaviors (By similarity). Ligand-binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via G alpha proteins, possibly G(i)/G(o) G alpha proteins..
