The olfactory system is responsible for transducing a wide variety of odorant stimuli into
neuronal action potentials. Biochemical evidence suggests that the initial events of signal …

In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of calcium signaling pathways common to
the vertebrate gustatory systems, we have analyzed the expression of their molecular …

Antisera were raised in rabbits against purified α subunit of G protein G11 (G11α) and also
against a synthetic decapeptide corresponding to a sequence of G11α. Antibodies in both …

The rat olfactory epithelium contains a specific water-soluble 45-kDa protein. This protein is
recognized by anti-peptide antibodies which react with α-subunits of the known G-proteins …

Newly identified mammalian taste-cell-specific G protein coupled receptors, and the genes
and cDNA encoding said receptors are described. Specifically, T1R G protein-coupled …

GPRC6A is a novel member of family C of G protein-coupled receptors with so far elusive
biological function. GPRC6A has been described in human and mouse as a promiscuous l-α …

Newly identified mammalian taste-cell-specific G protein coupled receptors, and the genes
and cDNA encoding said receptors are described. Specifically, T1R G protein-coupled …

The sense of taste responds to a large variety of stimuli through specific transduction
mechanisms. The molecular events in the perception of bitter taste are believed to start with …

The palatal region of the oral cavity in rodents houses 100–300 taste buds and is particularly
sensitive to sweet and umami compounds; yet, few studies have examined the expression …
