Sequence Analysis of Bitter Taste Receptor Gene Repertoires in Different Ruminant Species.
Bitter taste has been extensively studied in mammalian species and is associated with sensitivity to toxins and with food choices that avoid dangerous substances in the diet. At the molecular level, bitter compounds are sensed by bitter taste receptor proteins (T2R) present at the surface of taste r...
