    摘要: Screening assays, preferably high throughput, are provided that screen libraries of candidate compounds to identify agonists, antagonists, enhancers or modulators of taste receptors (bitter, sweet or savory (umami) taste receptor) using test cells that co-express at least one functional taste receptor and an olfactory cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (oCNGC). (The oCNGC preferably comprises at least one mutation in one or more subunits that renders the resultant oCNGC more sensitive to CAMP (which in turn enhances the sensitivity of assay using this oCNGC). These taste modulatory compounds are identified based on their effect on oCNGC activity, e.g., using fluorimetric assays that screen for changes in intracellular calcium or sodium concentration in test cells that co-express at least one taste receptor, oCNGC and a Gαi/o protein.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the discovery that specific human taste receptors in the T2R taste receptor family respond to particular bitter compounds. Also, the invention relates to the discovery of specific hT2R9 alleles and their disparate activity in functional assays with the same bitter ligands. The invention further relates to the use of these T2R receptors in assays for identifying ligands that modulate the activation of these taste receptors by specific bitter ligands and related compounds. These compounds may be used as additives and/or removed from foods, beverages, cosmetics and medicinals in order to modify (block) T2R-associated bitter taste. Also T2R ligands may be used as therapeutics to treat and modulate T2R associated gastrointestinal and metabolic functions as well as treat gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases such as eating disorders, food sensing, food absorption, obesity, diabetes, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, et al.
