Genetic, functional, and phenotypic diversity in TAS2R38-mediated bitter taste perception.

Chemical senses - 1 Jul 2013

Behrens Maik, Gunn Howard C, Ramos Purita C M, Meyerhof Wolfgang, Wooding Stephen P

Abstract excerpt

Mutational polymorphism in the TAS2R38 bitter taste receptor is a key determinant of threshold taste detection of isolated compounds, such as phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and propylthiouracil (PROP), as well as complex orosensation-mediated traits such as diet choice and smoking habits. These relationships are accounted for, in part, by 2 common alleles differing in functionality, TAS2R38-PAV and TAS2R38-AVI....
