A recent study has demonstrated that the G-protein coupled receptor GPR120 is expressed
in the taste bud cells in rats. In this study, we have identified the types of taste cell that …

We investigated the expression of G protein-coupled receptor GPR40 and GPR120 in the rat
tongue. Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, we detected a significant …

There is mounting evidence that, in addition to texture and olfaction, taste plays a role in the
detection of long chain fatty acids. Triglycerides, the main components of oils and dietary fat …

G‐protein‐mediated signalling processes are involved in sweet and bitter taste transduction.
In particular, the G protein α‐subunit gustducin has been implicated in these processes. One …

BACKGROUND & AIMS:: Long-chain fatty acid receptors G-protein− coupled receptor 40
(GPR40)(FFAR1) and GPR120 have been implicated in the chemosensation of dietary fats. I …

The oral perception of fat has traditionally been considered to rely mainly on texture and
olfaction, but recent findings suggest that taste may also play a role in the detection of long …

GPR40 is a member of a subfamily of homologous G protein-coupled receptors that include
GPR41 and GPR43 and that have no current function or ligand ascribed. Ligand fishing …

We report here the molecular cloning, tissue distribution, and chromosomal localization of
novel genes encoding G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). A search of a mouse database …

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) is an incretin secreted from enteroendocrine K cells in
response to meal ingestion. Recently free fatty acid receptor G protein-coupled receptor …

Stimulation of the G protein coupled receptor GPR120 has been shown to have anti-
inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects, to promote glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) …
