The genetics of phenylthiocarbamide perception.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Guo S W, Reed D R

Abstract excerpt

The ability to taste the bitter compound phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and related chemicals is bimodal, and all human populations tested to date contain some people who can and some people who cannot taste PTC. Why this trait has been maintained in the population is uncertain but this polymorphism may influence food selection, nutritional status or thyroid metabolism. The gene product that gives rise to this...
