Receptor ukusa tip 2 član 38 je protein koji je kod ljudi kodiran TAS2R38 genom. TAS2R38 je receptor gorkog ukusa. Različiti genotipi ovog receptora utiču na sposobnost prepoznavanja ukusa 6-n-propiltiouracila (PROP) i feniltiokarbamida (PTC). Though it has often been proposed that varying taste receptor genotypes could influence tasting ability, TAS2R38 is one of the only taste receptors shown to have this function.
