Abstract excerpt
Bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) expressed in extraoral tissues represent a whole-body sensory system, whose role and mechanisms could be of interest for the identification of new therapeutic targets. It is known that TAS2R46s in pre-contracted airway smooth muscle cells increase mitochondrial calcium uptake, leading to bronchodilation, and that several SNPs have been identified in its gene sequence. There are...
