Molecular recognition of an odorant by the murine trace amine-associated receptor TAAR7f [PDF]
There are two main families of G protein-coupled receptors that detect odours in humans, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs).

Trace Amine Associated Receptor 1 Modulates Behavioral Effects of Ethanol [PDF]
Background Few treatment options for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) exist and more are critically needed. Here, we assessed whether trace amine associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), a modulator of brain monoamine systems, is involved in the behavioral and ...

Functional evolution of the trace amine associated receptors in mammals and the loss of TAAR1 in dogs [PDF]
Background The trace amine associated receptor family is a diverse array of GPCRs that arose before the first vertebrates walked on land. Trace amine associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) is a wide spectrum aminergic receptor that acts as a modulator in brain ...

Improved cognitive performance in trace amine-associated receptor 5 (TAAR5) knock-out mice [PDF]
Trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) are a family of G protein-coupled receptors present in mammals in the brain and several peripheral organs. Apart from its olfactory role, TAAR5 is expressed in the major limbic brain areas and regulates brain ...

Unlocking the secrets of trace amine-associated receptor 1 agonists: new horizon in neuropsychiatric treatment [PDF]
For over seven decades, dopamine receptor 2 (D2 receptor) antagonists remained the mainstay treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders. Although it is effective for treating hyperdopaminergic symptoms, it is often ineffective for treating negative and ...

Trace amine-associated receptor 1 agonist reduces aggression in brain serotonin-deficient tryptophan hydroxylase 2 knockout rats [PDF]
IntroductionAggression and self-harm disproportionately occur in youths preoccupied with social status tracking. These pathological conditions are linked to a serotonin (5-HT) deficit in the brain.

Trace Amine-Associated Receptors’ Role in Immune System Functions
Trace amines are a separate, independent group of biogenic amines, close in structure to classical monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine that include many products of the endogenous or bacteria-mediated decarboxylation of amino acids. A family of G protein-coupled trace amine-associated receptors (in humans, TAAR1,
