Genetic Variation in Putative Salt Taste Receptors and Salt Taste Perception in Humans

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SCNN1A (3), SCNN1B (12), SCNN1G (6), and TRPV1 (10) genes affect salt taste perception. Participants were men (n = 28) and women (n = 67) from the Toronto Nutrigenomics and Health study aged 21-31 years. Taste thresholds were determined using a 3-alternative forced-choice staircase model with solutions ranging from 9×10(-6) to 0.5 mol/L. Suprathreshold taste sensitivity to 0.01-1.0 mol/L salt solutions was assess… Show more

“…Genetic variations in taste receptors have been reported to be associated with modifying bitter, sweet, and salty taste. People with the T allele of TRPV1 rs8065080 are significantly more sensitive to salt solution than those with the C allele [20]. However, the present study showed that subjects with minor alleles of TRPV1 rs161364 and rs8065080 exhibited a preference for sweet tastes but not for other tastes.…”

“…TRPV1 is not a taste receptor but a pain receptor. However, ‘spicy hot' is sensed by TRPV1, and is reported to be a similar taste sensation to that of salt [20]. Perceptions of salty and sour appear to be related to ligand-gated transmembrane channels, whereas other taste perceptions including spicy are associated with the family of G protein-coupled receptors [35].…”

“…TRPV1 expression has been observed immunohistochemically in primary afferents and also in oral epithelial cells in the rat tongue (18,21) and in human taste cell lines from lingual epithelium by RT-PCR (16,17). A recent study identified TRPV1 rs8065080 (C Ͼ T) singlenucleotide polymorphism as a likely modifier of an individual's perception of salt at suprathreshold levels (12).…”
