Abstract:

Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with taste receptor cells. When
flavor substances stimulate taste receptors, the signal is transmitted to the brain via the nervous sensory system, resulting in
the sense of taste after the analysis in the central nervous system. In recent years, taste receptors, taste signal transduction
and application caused great concern of the public, and a lot of cell research results showed that different tastes are
produced by different taste receptors. This paper reviews the signal transduction process and corresponding application of
guanosine-binding protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family taste receptors.

Key words: taste receptor, signal transduction, application
