Tissue dependent expression of bitter receptor <i>TAS2R38</i> mRNA

Abstract excerpt

TAS2R38 is a human bitter receptor gene with a common but inactive allele and people homozygous for the inactive form cannot perceive certain bitter compounds. The frequency of the inactive and active form of this receptor is nearly equal in many human populations and heterozygotes (with one copy of the active form and another copy of the inactive form) have the most common diplotype. However, heterozygotes differ...
