GPCRs Taste/Vomeronasal Receptors
Back to Overview
Taste and vomeronasal receptors are essential for detecting flavors and pheromones, respectively. Taste receptors, known as TAS1R and TAS2R, help identify sweet, bitter, and umami flavors. Vomeronasal receptors, on the other hand, detect pheromones, which play a key role in guiding social and reproductive behaviors in animals. Together, these receptors support vital sensory interactions in daily life and across various species.
