Trace amine-associated receptor 2 (TAAR2), formerly known as G protein-coupled receptor 58 (GPR58), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAAR2 gene.[1][2][3][4] TAAR2 is coexpressed with Gα proteins;[4] however, as of February 2017, its signal transduction mechanisms have not been determined.[4]

Human TAAR2 (hTAAR2) is expressed in the cerebellum, olfactory sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium, and leukocytes (i.e., white blood cells), among other tissues.[5][6] hTAAR1 and hTAAR2 are both required for white blood cell activation by trace amines in granulocytes.[7]

A single nucleotide polymorphism nonsense mutation of the TAAR2 gene is associated with schizophrenia.[4][5] TAAR2 is a probable pseudogene in 10–15% of Asians as a result of a polymorphism that produces a premature stop codon at amino acid 168.[4]
