  • Methods of identifying antagonists of the hTAS2R46 bitter taste receptor
    Patent number: 8673578
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antagonists and agonists of the human bitter-taste receptors hTAS2R40, hTAS2R43, hTAS2R44, hTAS2R46, and hTAS2R47. The invention also relates to methods for identifying further molecules that suppress or enhance bitter taste transduction or bitter taste response mediated by hTAS2R40, hTAS2R43, hTAS2R44, hTAS2R46, and/or hTAS2R47 and uses thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2010
    Date of Patent: March 18, 2014
    Assignee: Deutsches Institut für Ernahrungsforschung Potsdam-Rehbrücke
    Inventors: Giovanni Appendino, Maik Behrens, Anne Brockhoff, Wolfgang Meyerhof
  • Agonists of bitter taste receptors and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8524465
    Abstract: The present invention relates to agonists of the human bitter-taste receptors hTAS2R14, hTAS2R10 and hTAS2R4 and their role in bitter taste transduction. The invention also relates to methods for identifying molecules that modulate, e.g. suppress, or enhance hTAS2R14, hTAS2R10 and hTAS2R4 bitter taste transduction or bitter taste response.
