Statements

Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "Mammalian sweet taste is primarily mediated by the type 1 taste receptor Tas1r2/Tas1r3, whereas Tas1r1/Tas1r3 act as the principal umami taste receptor." 10.1073/pnas.1118360109
Mutation Description "Multiple ORF-disrupting mutations were found throughout the coding region (Fig. 4B). A 7-bp deletion between 99 and 100 bp in exon 6 is shown in SI Appendix, Fig. S9C. These data indicate that dolphin Tas1r3 also is a pseudogene." 10.1073/pnas.1118360109
