Trace amine-associated receptor
Trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs), sometimes referred to as trace amine receptors (TAs or TARs), are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that were discovered in 2001.[1][2][3] TAAR1, the first of six functional human TAARs, has gained considerable interest in academic and proprietary pharmaceutical research due to its unique role as the endogenous receptor for trace amines – which are trace metabolic derivatives of phenylalanine and tryptophan – and related psychostimulants, particularly amphetamine and methamphetamine.[4][5][6][7][8][9] In 2004 it was shown that in mammals TAAR1 is also a receptor for thyronamines, decarboxylated and deiodinated metabolites of the thyroid hormones.[6] TAAR2–TAAR9 function as olfactory receptors for volatile amines in vertebrates.[10]
Animal TAAR complement
The following is a list of the TAARs contained in selected animal genomes:[1][11]
- Human — 6 genes (TAAR1, TAAR2, TAAR5, TAAR6, TAAR8, TAAR9), 2 pseudogenes (TAAR4P, TAAR7P), and one probable pseudogene (TAAR3)[12]

- Zebrafish — 112 genes and 4 pseudogenes
- Frog — 3 genes and 0 pseudogenes
- Medaka — 25 genes and 1 pseudogenes
- Stickleback — 25 genes and 1 pseudogenes
Receptor function and ligands
Group | Naming convention |
Prior names | Known or putative function in humans[10] | Known ligands | References |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Group 1 | TAAR1 | TA1 | • Neuromodulation of monoamines in the CNS • Chemotaxis of leukocytes • Chemoreceptor for volatile odorants† | • Trace amines (e.g., phenethylamine, N-methylphenethylamine) • Classical monoamines (e.g., dopamine, serotonin, histamine) • Substituted amphetamines (e.g., amphetamine, methamphetamine) | [4][13][14] |
Group 1 | TAAR2‡ | GPR58 | • Chemotaxis of leukocytes • Chemoreceptor for volatile odorants | phenethylamine, tyramine, 3-iodothyronamine | [13][14] |
Group 1 | TAAR3 | GPR57, GPR57P | Probably a pseudogene | [12][13] | |
Group 1 | | – | Not present in humans | [13][15] | |
Group 2 | TAAR5 | PNR | Chemoreceptor for volatile and foul odorants | trimethylamine, N,N-dimethylethylamine (agonists) 3-iodothyronamine (inverse agonist) | [13][15][16][17][18] |
Group 3 | TAAR6 | – | Chemoreceptor for volatile odorants | [13][15] | |
Group 3 | | – | Not present in humans | [13][15] | |
Group 3 | TAAR8 | TA5, TRAR5, TAR5, GPR102 | Chemoreceptor for volatile odorants (Note: only known Gi/o-coupled TAAR) | [13][15][19] | |
Group 3 | TAAR9‡ | TA3, TRAR3, TAR3 | Chemoreceptor for volatile odorants | [13][15] |
- †TAAR1 is not expressed in the human olfactory epithelium, but certain volatile odorants have been identified as agonists of hTAAR1;[20] hence, it's not an olfactory receptor in spite of its capacity for odorant detection.[20]
- ‡TAAR2 is inactive in a subset of the human population, as there is a polymorphism with a premature stop codon in 10–15% of Asians.[12]
- ‡TAAR9 is a functional receptor in most of the population, but has a polymorphism with a premature stop codon in 10–30%, depending on the population subgroup.[12]

TAAR2 and TAAR9 Two of the trace amine receptors are inactivated in a portion of the human population. There is a polymorphism in TAAR2 (rs8192646) producing a premature stop codon at amino acid 168 in 10–15% of Asians. TAAR9 (formerly TRAR3) appears to be functional in most individuals but has a polymorphic premature stop codon at amino acid 61 (rs2842899) with an allele frequency of 10–30% in different populations (Vanti et al., 2003). TAAR3 (formerly GPR57) and TAAR4 (current gene symbol, TAAR4P) are thought to be pseudogenes in man though functional in rodents (Lindemann et al., 2005).

We show that [human TAAR5] responds to the tertiary amine N,N-dimethylethylamine and to a lesser extent to trimethylamine, a structurally related agonist for mouse and rat TAAR5 (Liberles and Buck, 2006; Staubert et al., 2010; Ferrero et al., 2012).
