Abstract

The present invention relates to agonists of the human bitter-taste receptors hTAS2R46, hTAS2R47 and hTAS2R50 and their role in bitter taste transduction. The invention also relates to methods for identifying molecules that modulate, e.g. suppress, or enhance hTAS2R46, hTAS2R47 and hTAS2R50 bitter taste transduction or bitter taste response.
