title = "Do salivary proteins play a role in tasting bitter substances?",
abstract = "The detection of bitterness occurs via well characterized receptors located in taste buds on the tongue surface. However, genetic variations in these receptors do not account for all the variations between subjects in their perception of bitter substances, which suggests there may be a role for salivary proteins or other factors in their detection. Several groups have shown associations of bitterness perception with carbonic anhydrase 6, proline-rich proteins and cystatins either by GWAS studies or proteomic studies, suggesting they potentially play a role. Some preliminary data is shown by the authors which provides further evidence that salivary proteins may play a role but the responsible protein is not determined, which may reflect the multifunctionality of salivary proteins.",
