Responses of TAS2R16 to β-glucosides in bamboo lemurs. HEK293T cells expressing TAS2R16 from each lemur with Gα16/gust44 were stimulated with increasing concentrations of (a) linamarin, (b) salicin and (c) arbutin (see top of panel for chemical structures). Changes in fluorescence (ΔF/F) upon ligand application were monitored (mean ± s.e.m.). Detailed values of parameters and statistics are shown in electronic supplementary material, tables S3 and S5. * Indicates the significant differences compared to those of L. catta (p < 0.05, two-sided Welch's t-test with BH correction).
