TAAR6

Trace amine associated receptor 6, also known as TAAR6, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the TAAR6 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
TAAR6 belongs to the is_associated_with::trace amine-associated receptor family. Trace amines are endogenous amine compounds that are chemically similar to classic biogenic amines like is_associated_with::dopamine, is_associated_with::norepinephrine, is_associated_with::serotonin, and is_associated_with::histamine. Trace amines were thought to be 'false transmitters' that displace classic is_associated_with::biogenic amines from their storage and act on transporters in a fashion similar to the is_associated_with::amphetamines, but the identification of brain receptors specific to trace amines indicates that they also have effects of their own.
