Methods for identifying compounds that modulate T1R1/T1R3 umami taste receptors

摘要

Methods for identifying compounds that modulate the T1R1/T1R3 umami taste receptors are provided. These methods comprise screening one or more compounds in a binding assay which identifies compounds that specifically bind to a T1R1/T1R3 taste receptor or which specifically modulate the specific binding of another compound to a T1R1/T1R3 taste receptor, and identifying compounds that elicit or modulate T1R1/T1R3 taste.
