Sweet taste perception in mice is blunted by PTBP1-regulated skipping of Tas1r2 exon 4.

Current Progress in Understanding the Structure and Function of Sweet Taste Receptor.
Title: Current Progress in Understanding the Structure and Function of Sweet Taste Receptor.
Using T1R2-knock out (KO) mice authors evaluated the role of STRs in the regulation of glucose absorption in vivo and in intact intestinal preparations ex vivo.
Title: T1R2 receptor-mediated glucose sensing in the upper intestine potentiates glucose absorption through activation of local regulatory pathways.
our platform provides in depth analysis of new sweeteners either alone or in competition and/or inhibition studies to fully understand the structure/functional role of ATD region of T1R2 that transpires in the initial binding event prior to sweet taste response.
Title: Multimodal Ligand Binding Studies of Human and Mouse G-Coupled Taste Receptors to Correlate Their Species-Specific Sweetness Tasting Properties.
Data suggest that Tas1r2 and Tas1r3 are involved in regulation of Glp1 secretion in enteroendocrine cells; 3DG (3-deoxyglucosone) attenuates high glucose-stimulated Glp1 secretion by antagonizing Tas1r2/Tas1r3 subunits and downstream cAMP signaling. (Tas1r2 = sweet taste receptor subunit Tas1r2; Tas1r3 = sweet taste receptor subunit Tas1r3; Glp1 = glucagon-like peptide-1)
Title: The downregulation of sweet taste receptor signaling in enteroendocrine L-cells mediates 3-deoxyglucosone-induced attenuation of high glucose-stimulated GLP-1 secretion.
Data, including data from studies with mutant and knockout mice, suggest that Tas1R3 and Tas1R2 are expressed endogenously in osteoclast stem cells; their expression levels parallel robust increase in osteoclast biomarker Ctsk during osteoclast differentiation. (Ctsk = cathepsin K)
Title: Loss of the nutrient sensor TAS1R3 leads to reduced bone resorption.
mice lacking T1R2 + T1R3 and controls were tested in a taste discrimination task to determine whether maltodextrins are 1) detectable when both receptor subunits are absent and 2) perceptually distinct from that of sucrose. Some KO mice were only sensitive to the higher Polycose concentrations, implicating potential allelic variation in the putative polysaccharide receptor pathways unmasked by the absence of T1R2+T1R3.
Title: Detection of maltodextrin and its discrimination from sucrose are independent of the T1R2 + T1R3 heterodimer.
results implicate each subunit of the T1R2+T1R3 dimer in the behavioral response to P-containing taste compounds
Title: Phosphorus Taste Involves T1R2 and T1R3.
T1R2 plays an important role in glucose homeostasis during diet-induced obesity through the regulation of yet to be identified molecular mechanisms that alter energy disposal and utilization in peripheral tissues. T1r2 was upregulated in the adipose tissue of wild type mice in response to high fat/low carbohydrate diet, and their expression positively correlated with fat mass and glucose intolerance.
Title: Disruption of the sugar-sensing receptor T1R2 attenuates metabolic derangements associated with diet-induced obesity.
Mice possess two taste transduction pathways for sugars. One mediates behavioral attraction to sugars and requires an intact T1r2+T1r3. The other mediates cephalic phase insulin release but does not require an intact T1r2+T1r3.
Title: Sugar-induced cephalic-phase insulin release is mediated by a T1r2+T1r3-independent taste transduction pathway in mice.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
