HUMAN SWEET TASTE RECEPTOR AGONIST SWEETNESS REGULATING SUBSTANCE FOR SWEET SUBSTANCES

摘要

[Object] An object of the present invention is to provide a human sweet taste receptor-acting sweet taste regulating substance to a sweet taste substance by which the advantageous effects such as improvement in a taste, saving of a sweetener, reduction in calorie, low caries etc. can be obtained by applying to various foods and beverages. [Solution] The sweet taste receptor-acting sweet taste regulating substance of the present invention is identified by measurement of a physiological response by a sweet taste substance, using a cultured cell strain which is allowed to express hT1R2 and hT1R3, and a G protein ± subunit, by transferring an expression construct obtained by inserting respective cDNAs encoding the hT1 R2 and the hT1 R3, and the G protein ± subunit into the same plasmid, into a 293 cell in which an FRT (Flippase Recognition Target) site has been incorporated into one place in a genome DNA.
