Genetic analysis of sweet taste transduction

1997-11-01

Abstract excerpt

A genetic analysis of sweet taste transduction was initiated using fruitflies and humans. In flies, behavioral and receptor cell electrophysiology data indicate different mechanisms for fructose and glucose in or before the receptor cells. Fructose nontasters (FN) and glucose nontasters (GN) were selected from natural populations of adults and larvae. The FN are the first fructose taste variants isolated in any sp...
