Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Glutamate is a representative taste molecule with an umami flavor and is a major nutrient found abundantly in nature. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in the human body as a key metabolic intermediate and neurotransmitter. Therefore, the divergence of glutamate functions among populations during their evolution is of particular interest with a hypothesis that the genetic variation can lead...
