Expression of T1R3 in Islets

Mouse islets expressed T1R2 and T1R3, and artificial sweeteners stimulated insulin secretion. The sweet taste receptor is a heterodimer of T1R2 and T1R3, both of which belong to a subclass of G-protein-coupled receptors resembling metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR), calcium-sensing receptor and pheromone receptors (V2R).


Pancreatic slices were stained with anti-T1R3 (a) and anti-insulin (b) antibodies. c: merge.
