Stimulus processing of glycine is dissociable from that of sucrose and glucose based on behaviorally measured taste signal detection in Sac 'taster' and 'non-taster' mice.

Abstract excerpt

Mouse strains have been divided into 'tasters' and 'non-tasters' based on their relatively high and low preference, respectively, for low concentrations of sucrose and saccharin. These phenotypic differences appear to be due to a polymorphism in the gene at the Sac locus encoding for the T1R3 taste receptor selectively affecting the functionality of the T1R2+3 heterodimer. To psychophysically examine whether...
