Abstract excerpt
A search of the human genome database led us to identify three human candidate taste receptors, hT1R1, hT1R2, and hT1R3, which contain seven transmembrane domains. All three genes map to a small region of Chromosome (Chr) 1. This region is syntenous to the distal end of Chr 4 in mouse, which contains the Sac (saccharin preference) locus that is involved in detecting sweet tastants. A genetic marker, DVL1, which...
