Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The TAS1R1 and TAS1R3 G protein-coupled receptors are believed to function in combination as a heteromeric glutamate taste receptor in humans. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that variations in the umami perception of glutamate would correlate with variations in the sequence of these 2 genes, if they contribute directly to umami taste. DESIGN: In this study, we first characterized the general sensitivity...
