ABSTRACT
Human beings can perceive the sweet, umami, acid, salty and bitter flavors. For
the proper performance of the mechanisms of the sense of taste it is necessary
that a set of cells called taste receptor cells are activated. These cells are organized
in taste buds and they have receptors that allow to detect multiple taste
modalities. In the present article the mechanisms of sensory transduction of the
flavors are described, indicating the main molecular components that interact in
the intricate cellular signaling network that leads to their perception.
