The type 2 family of taste receptors (T2Rs) detect and respond to bitter tastants. These receptors are expressed throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with location dependant roles. In the oral cavity, T2Rs are involved in the conscious percept... Read More about Interactions between bitter taste, diet and dysbiosis: Consequences for appetite and obesity.
