Associations of taste receptor gene variants with Body Mass Index (BMI) and longevity.

Scientific reports - 4 May 2026

Abstract excerpt

Taste receptors are expressed in the oral cavity and numerous extra-oral tissues, where they share signaling mechanisms. Within this broad context, taste receptors regulate feeding behavior and metabolic homeostasis, potentially contributing to exceptional longevity. We evaluated differences in genotype and allele frequencies at the TAS1R2, TAS1R3, TAS2R38, and CD36 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and...
