Abstract excerpt
T2Rs comprise a G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily that contains functionally defined bitter taste receptors. Here we report the tissue expressions and coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (cSNPs) in human T2R genes (hT2R3, hT2R4, and hT2R5) on chromosome 7q31. We first demonstrated that hT...
