Taste Transductions in Taste Receptor Cells: Basic Tastes and Moreover

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014
In the oral cavity, taste receptor cells dedicate to detecting chemical compounds in foodstuffs and transmitting their signals to gustatory nerve fibers. Heretofore, five taste qualities (sweet, umami, bitter, salty and sour) are generally accepted as basic tastes.

Plant polyphenols, chemoreception, taste receptors and taste management

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, 2019
Polyphenols display beneficial health effects through chemopreventive actions on numerous chronic diseases including cancers, metabolic disorders, reproductive disorders and eating behaviour disorders. According to the principle of chemoreception, polyphenols bind cellular targets capable of accepting their stereochemistry, namely metabolizing enzymes ...

Peptide interactions with taste receptors: Overlap in taste receptor specificity

Experientia, 1984
Two hitherto unrelated areas of taste appear to provide an important insight into a class of taste receptor sites. A region of the sweet protein monellin is similar to a savory tasting beef octapeptide, and this peptide region could represent an overlap in the specificity of binding to a common peptide taste receptor site.

INSECT ODOR AND TASTE RECEPTORS

Annual Review of Entomology, 2006
▪ Abstract  Insect odor and taste receptors are highly sensitive detectors of food, mates, and oviposition sites. Following the identification of the first insect odor and taste receptors in Drosophila melanogaster, these receptors were identified in a number of other insects, including the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae; the silk moth ...

Molecular receptors of taste agents

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2009
All representatives of higher eukaryotes can probably differentially perceive nutrients and poisonous substances. Molecular mechanisms of transduction of taste information have been best studied for mammals and for the fruit fly Drosophila. Here, we consider receptor mechanisms and conjugated primary signal processes of stimulation of taste receptor ...

Glutamate Receptors in Taste Receptor Cells

2007
Glutamate plays a double role in the physiology of TRCs. As a free-occurring component of some foodstuff, glutamate is detected by TRCs and conveys information about the presence of protein-rich source. As a substance released by TRC and/or nerve endings, it is involved in cell-to-cell communication at chemical synapses in taste organs.

Receptors and transduction in taste

Nature, 2001
Taste is the sensory system devoted primarily to a quality check of food to be ingested. Although aided by smell and visual inspection, the final recognition and selection relies on chemoreceptive events in the mouth. Emotional states of acute pleasure or displeasure guide the selection and contribute much to our quality of life. Membrane proteins that

Vertebrate Taste Receptors

1987
Nutrition is of utmost importance to all animals. Most utilize specialized chemoreceptors to aid them in food selection and consumption. Since the same group of chemicals is necessary for cell growth, maintenance, and function in these animals, there may be similarities in the properties of their chemoreceptors.
