    摘要: The present invention provides model taste cells that naturally or recombinant Iy express taste receptors and relevant cellular proteins and/or molecules useful for taste signal transduction. The present invention further provides methods of use for these model taste cells for screening for compounds that modulate sweet and/or other taste signal transduction. Compositions comprising the compounds/modulators identified using the model taste cells are also provided. In preferred embodiments, the model taste cells are derived from human HuTu-80 enteroendocrine cells, and derivative cells thereof.
