1. A vector containing an isolated nucleic acid which encodes a human hT1R2 taste receptor, wherein said hT1R2 encoding nucleic acid is selected from the following:
(i) a nucleic acid which encodes the human T1R2 polypeptide in SEQ ID NO: 21;
(ii) a nucleic acid which encodes a polypeptide having at least 90% sequence identity to the human T1R2 polypeptide in SEQ ID NO: 21;
(iii) a nucleic acid which hybridizes to the complement of the human T1R2 encoding nucleic acid sequence contained in SEQ ID NO: 23 under stringent hybridization conditions which consist of hybridization in 50% formamide, 5×SSC and 1% SDS, incubating at 42° C., with wash in 0.2×SSC and 0.1% SDS at 65° C., wherein said hybridization and wash steps are each carried out for at least 1 minute; and
(iv) a nucleic acid encoding a human T1R2 polypeptide having the sequence in SEQ ID NO: 21.
