Taste buds that respond to "bitter" tastes express 25-30 proteins in the T2R class. These are all found in each of the receptor cells on the tongue. Difference chemicals in food will activate ion channels (eg TRPV1 by chilli). Taste buds act as G-protein coupled receptors and act via the IP3 pathway to alert the brain that the ingested substance could be harmful.

Bitter taste in humans is detected by specific taste receptors called TAS2Rs located on taste bud cells on the tongue. When bitter compounds bind to these receptors, it triggers a signaling cascade that sends a message to the brain through the gustatory system, resulting in the perception of bitterness.
