摘要

Individual differences in the perception of sweetness can be due to effects of environment, genes and their interaction. The study of individual differences due to genes can shed light on the mechanisms of sweet perception. Human studies have demonstrated substantial individual differences in perception and preference for sweet substances but there is little evidence as to the basis for these differences. In contrast, animal model studies with the mouse, the organism of choice for molecular genetics studies, have clearly demonstrated that differences in sensitivity to, and preferences for, sweetness among strains of inbred mice are due to genetic factors. Genetic mapping studies in our laboratories and others have shown that one locus, Sac (located on distal chromosome 4) plays a prominent role in sweet perception in mice and, most likely, in humans. Recent studies have provided strong evidence that Sac is a sweet taste receptor (called Taslr3). This work sets the stage for a much fuller understanding of the initial events in sweet taste perception and may provide new insights into possible genetic contributions to human individual differences in perception and preference for sweetened foods and beverages.
