Association between common variation in genes encoding sweet taste signaling components and human sucrose perception.

Chemical senses - 1 Sept 2010

Fushan Alexey A, Simons Christopher T, Slack Jay P, Drayna Dennis

Abstract excerpt

Variation in taste perception of different chemical substances is a well-known phenomenon in both humans and animals. Recent advances in the understanding of sweet taste signaling have identified a number of proteins involved in this signal transduction. We evaluated the hypothesis that sequence variations occurring in genes encoding taste signaling molecules can influence sweet taste perception in humans. Our...
