The question as to whether animals taste cholesterol is not resolved. This study investigates the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster , capable of detecting through their gustatory system. We found that flies are indifferent low levels and avoid higher levels. avoidance mediated by receptor neurons (GRNs), demonstrating can cholesterol. cholesterol-responsive GRNs comprise a subset also responds bitter substances. Cholesterol detection depends on five ionotropic (IR) family members, disrupting any these genes impairs flies' ability Ectopic expressions IRs in reveals two classes receptors, each with three shared one unique subunit. Additionally, expressing receptors sugar-responsive confers attraction cholesterol, GRNs.

Taste organs contain distinct gustatory receptors that help organisms differentiate between nourishing and potentially harmful foods. The detection of high pH levels plays a crucial role in food selection, but the specific responsible for perceiving elevated foods have remained unknown. By using
