Fig. 1. Identification of the T1R1/T1R3 umami taste receptor in mouse neutrophils. Whole mouse tongue tissues, mouse neutrophils were isolated from the bone marrow of 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice femurs and tibias. T1R1/T1R3 and taste signaling-associated components (GNAT3 and TRPM5) mRNA were quantified by qRT-PCR (n=6-9). Values are reported as the mean pM of mRNA±SEM and were quantified in reference to the known standard gene and normalized to eukaryotic Elongation Factor2 RNA.
