The Role of the Sweet Taste Receptor in Enteroendocrine Cells and Pancreatic β-Cells
The sweet taste receptor is expressed in taste cells located in taste buds of the tongue. This receptor senses sweet substances in the oral cavity, activates taste cells, and transmits the taste signals to adjacent neurons. The sweet taste receptor is a heterodimer of two G protein-coupled receptors...
