Piecing together the taste signaling puzzle
2010
International audience; The identification of the genes coding for bitter, umami, sweet and sour taste receptors has provided us with unique tools to investigate the gustatory system. As a consequence, tremendous progress towards our understanding of the functional organization of the peripheral taste system has been achieved over the past decade. In particular, key components of the taste receptors signaling cascades have been identified as well as populations of chemosensory cells in the olfactory, respiratory and digestive systems expressing taste receptors. Besides sharing receptors and signaling molecules (gustducin, phospholipase-C b2…) with taste bud cells, these cells display a simi…
