IDENTIFICATION OF A NOVEL BITTER TASTE RECEPTOR, T2R76

摘要

Isolated nucleic acids encoding T2R76 polypeptides , recombinantly expressed T2R76 polypeptides, heterologous expression systems for recombinant expressi on of T2R76 polypeptides, assay methods employing the same, and methods for altering taste perception via administration of a T2R76-modulator. These T22R76 polypeptides can be expressed alone or co-expressed with another T2R polypeptide, preferably a different human T2R polypeptide.
