Trace amine associated receptor 6, also known as TAAR6, is a human gene.[1]
TAAR6 belongs to the trace amine receptor family. Trace amines are endogenous amine compounds that are chemically similar to classic biogenic amines like dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine. Trace amines were thought to be 'false transmitters' that displace classic biogenic amines from their storage and act on transporters in a fashion similar to the amphetamines, but the identification of brain receptors specific to trace amines indicates that they also have effects of their own (Duan et al., 2004).[supplied by OMIM][1]
