Chloride ions evoke taste sensations by binding to the extracellular ligand-binding domain of sweet/umami taste receptors
Salt taste sensation is multifaceted: NaCl at low or high concentrations is preferably or aversively perceived through distinct pathways. Cl− is thought to participate in taste sensation through an unknown mechanism. Here, we describe Cl− ion binding and the response of taste receptor type 1 (T1r),...
