The identification of intracellular transduction mechanisms, such as gustducin, [ 15 16 ] and more recently the sweet T1R and bitter T2R receptor families [ 4 6 17 ] , offer great possibilities to further our understanding of taste.
Evidence for gustducin's role in bitter taste came from knockout studies, in which a targeted deletion of α-gustducin resulted in mice with a reduced sensitivity for bitter compounds [ 10].
More recently, a variety of bitter compounds have been shown to activate gustducin in biochemical assays [ 11, 12], causing a decrease in intracellular cAMP levels via activation of PDE [ 13].
Alpha gustducin activates PDE, causing decreases in intracellular cAMP, while its βγ partners stimulate PLCβ2 to produce IP 3 and DAG.
