Details

BitterDB

BitterDB is a database of bitter-tasting molecules and the bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) they activate. Maintained at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, it serves as a reference for studies of bitter taste, chemoreception, and the pharmacology of taste receptors.

Content includes:

  • Bitter compounds curated from the literature and other sources
  • Associated human bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) and, where available, receptors from other species
  • Ligand-receptor association data and links to chemical resources

GeneCards integrates bitter taste receptor information from BitterDB.
