Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080206785ASSAYS FOR SENSORY MODULATORS USING A SENSORY CELL SPECIFIC G-PROTEIN ALPHA SUBUNIT - The invention identifies nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of a sensory cell specific G-protein alpha subunit that are specifically expressed in sensory cells, e.g., taste cells, antibodies to such G-protein alpha subunits, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and subunits, and methods of screening for modulators of a sensory cell specific G-protein alpha subunit.08-28-2008
20080249293Nucleic acids encoding a G-protein coupled receptor involved in sensory transduction - The invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of sensory cell specific G-protein coupled receptors, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of sensory cell specific G-protein coupled receptors.10-09-2008
20080318251Mammalian Sweet And Amino Acid Heterodimeric Taste Receptors - The present invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of sweet or amino acid taste receptors comprising two heterologous G-protein coupled receptor polypeptides from the T1R family of sensory G-protein coupled receptors, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of sweet and amino acid taste receptors.12-25-2008
20090068733T2R, a novel family of taste receptors - The invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of taste cell specific G-protein coupled receptors, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of taste cell specific G-protein coupled receptors.03-12-2009
20090075294Eukaryotic mechanosensory transduction channel - The present invention provides, for the first time, nucleic acids encoding a eukaryotic mechanosensory transduction channel (MSC) protein. The proteins encoded by these nucleic acids form channels that can directly detect mechanical stimuli and convert them into electrical signals. These nucleic acids and the proteins they encode can be used as probes for sensory cells in animals, and can be used to diagnose and treat any of a number of human conditions involving inherited, casual, or environmentally-induced loss of mechanosensory transduction activity.03-19-2009
20090098580MAMMALIAN SWEET TASTE RECEPTORS - The present invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of sweet taste receptors comprising two heterologous G-protein coupled receptor polypeptides from the T1R family of sensory G-protein coupled receptors, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of sweet taste receptors.04-16-2009
20090104703Nucleic Acids Encoding Proteins Involved in Sensory Transduction - The invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of sensory cell specific polypeptides, antibodies to such polypeptides, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and polypeptides, and methods of screening for modulators of sensory cell specific polypeptides.04-23-2009
20090148948NUCLEIC ACIDS ENCODING A G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTOR INVOLVED IN TASTE TRANSDUCTION - The invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of sensory cell specific G-protein coupled receptors, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of sensory cell specific G-protein coupled receptors.06-11-2009
20090155819Mammalian T1R3 Sweet Taste Receptors - The present invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of sweet taste receptors, the receptors comprising consisting of a monomer or homodimer of a T1R3 G-protein coupled receptor polypeptide, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of sweet and amino acid taste receptors.06-18-2009
20090280506SF, A NOVEL FAMILY OF TASTE RECEPTORS - The invention provides isolated nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of taste cell specific G-protein coupled receptors, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of taste cell specific G-protein coupled receptors.11-12-2009
20100062456T2R, A NOVEL FAMILY OF TASTE RECEPTORS - The invention provides nucleic acid and amino acid sequences for a novel family of taste transduction G-protein coupled receptors, antibodies to such receptors, methods of detecting such nucleic acids and receptors, and methods of screening for modulators of taste transduction G-protein coupled receptors.03-11-2010
