MAMMALIAN SWEET AND AMINO ACID HETERODIMERIC TASTE RECEPTORS

摘要

The present invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of sweet or amino acid taste receptors comprising two heterologous G-protein coupled receptor polypeptides from the T1R family of sensory G-protein coupled receptors, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of sweet and amino acid taste receptors.
