| 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 | "Tas1r3 has a 1-bp deletion between 72 and 73 bp in exon 4 (Fig. 4A and SI Appendix, Fig. S8C). Only exons 2, 4, and 5 have been sequenced for sea lion Tas1r3. As was the case for Tas1r2, sea lion Tas1r1 and Tas1r3 are also pseudogenes." | 10.1073/pnas.1118360109 |
