Taste-independent nutrient selection is mediated by a brain-specific Na+ /solute co-transporter in Drosophila.

Nature neuroscience - 1 May 2013

Dus Monica, Ai Minrong, Suh Greg S B

Abstract excerpt

Animals can determine the nutritional value of sugar without the influence of taste. We examined a Drosophila mutant that is insensitive to the nutritional value of sugars, responding only to the concentration (that is, sweetness). The affected gene encodes a sodium/solute co-transporter-like protein, designated SLC5A11 (or cupcake), which is structurally similar to mammalian sodium/glucose co-transporters that...
