Summary
Enables ionotropic taste receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; response to L-canavanine; and response to caffeine. Located in axon and dendrite. Is expressed in several structures, including adult labellum sensillum; gnathal ganglion; gustatory receptor neurons; multidendritic neurons; and organism subdivision.
