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 "Dolphin intron 2 has a mutation in the donor splice site at the 5' end (AT instead of GT; Fig. 4B) that would interfere with splicing of the Tas1r1mRNA, a 5-bp deletion in exon 4 that disrupts the ORF of dolphin Tas1r1 (Fig. 4B and SI Appendix, Fig. S9A), and a 2-bp deletion in exon 6 (Fig. 4B)." 10.1073/pnas.1118360109
