Isolated (T1R2/T1R3) sweet taste receptors that respond to sweet taste stimuli |
摘要 |
Isolated or biologically pure taste receptors comprised of at least one T 1 R 2 and T 1 R 3 polypeptide and compositions containing are provided. These taste receptors specifically bind and/or are specifically activated by sweet taste stimuli such as natural and artificial sweetener compounds. These taste receptors are useful in screening assays for identifying compounds that elicit or modulate (enhance or inhibit) sweet taste. These compounds can be used as additives and flavorants to improve the taste of compositions for human or animal consumption. In preferred embodiments, the T 1 R 2/ T 1 R 3 receptor will be comprised of human T 1 R 2/ human T 1 R 3 expressed in association with a suitable G protein, preferably Ga<SUB>a15</SUB>.
