Activation of the feline umami receptor fT1R1-fT1R3 by linear α-L-dipeptides: an in vitro study

Activation of the feline umami receptor fT1R1-fT1R3 by linear α-L-dipeptides: an in vitro study

Cats (Felis catus) are obligate carnivores and as such they are adapted to detect the taste of meat and its components, such as L-amino acids, which generate umami (or savoury) taste, analogous to the taste of MSG for humans.
