Taste receptor type 1 member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS1R3 gene.[5][6] The TAS1R3 gene encodes the human homolog of mouse Sac taste receptor, a major determinant of differences between sweet-sensitive and -insensitive mouse strains in their responsiveness to sucrose, saccharin, and other sweeteners.[6][7]

Structure

The protein encoded by the TAS1R3 gene is a

sweet taste receptor TAS1R2+3. This receptor is formed as a protein dimer with either TAS1R1 or TAS1R2.[8]
Experiments have also shown that a homo-dimer of TAS1R3 is also sensitive to natural sugar substances. This has been hypothesized as the mechanism by which sugar substitutes do not have the same taste qualities as natural sugars.[9][10]

Ligands

The

G protein-coupled receptors
for sweet and umami taste are formed by dimers of the TAS1R proteins. The TAS1R1+3 taste receptor is sensitive to the
guanidinoacetic acid.[8]

Signal transduction

G protein-coupled receptors that inhibit adenylyl cyclases to decrease cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels in taste receptors.[13] The TAS1R3 protein, however, has been shown in vitro to couple with Gα subunits at a much lower rate than the other TAS1R proteins. While the protein structures of the TAS1R proteins are similar, this experiment shows that the G protein-coupling properties of TAS1R3 may be less important in the transduction of taste signals than the TAS1R1 and TAS1R2 proteins.[12]

Location and innervation

TAS1R1+3 expressing cells are found in

foliate papillae near the back of the tongue and palate taste receptor cells in the roof of the mouth.[8] These cells are shown to synapse upon the glossopharyngeal nerves to send their signals to the brain.[14][15] TAS1R and TAS2R (bitter) channels are not expressed together in any taste buds.[8]
