The present invention relates to high-throughput mammalian and medium-throughput oocyte-based electrophysiological assays for identifying human TRPML3 modulators, preferably TRPML3 enhancers. Compounds that modulate TRPML3 function in the assay are expected to affect salty taste in humans. The inventive electrophysiological assays, such as the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique, facilitate the identification of compounds which specifically modulate human TRPML3. The assays of the invention provide a robust screen useful to detect compounds that facilitate (enhance) or inhibit TRPML3 function. Compounds that enhance or block TRPML3 channel activity should thereby modulate salty taste. In addition, these compounds may be used to regulate sodium excretion, urinary output and other biological functions relating to sodium levels. This invention relates to the elucidation that TRPML3 is involved in salty taste perception in primates including humans and likely other mammals (given the significance of sodium and other ions to physiological functions and conditions this phenotype is likely strongly conserved in different animals). The TRPML3 gene also modulates one or more of sodium metabolism, sodium excretion, blood pressure, fluid retention, cardiac function and urinary functions such as urine production and excretion. The inventors have identified TRPML3 as encoding a salty taste receptor in primates and humans (and likely other mammals) based on gene expression assays which have determined that TRPML3 is expressed specifically in taste bud cells and not in lingual epithelial cells, similar assays that have determined that TRPML3 is specifically expressed or enriched in the top half of taste bud cells in a subset of taste cells which do not express TRPM5 or PKD2L1, prior reports that document the expression of TRPML3 in other sensory organs such as the ear (therefore further substantiating the role of TRPML3 as a 'professional' sensory gene).

The invention discloses a drinking utensil which is used for solving the problem that children resist to drinking bitter medicines when getting sick. When in use, two straws are placed in the oral cavity of a child, and the outlets of the two straws are at different positions in the oral cavity: one long straw cooperates with one short straw. The short straw outlet is located at a normal sucking position of the middle front portion of the tongue surface, and the long straw outlet crosses over the taste bud area where the tongue surface can taste and reaches the throat or a position below the throat. The inlet ends of the two straws are respectively connected to the two liquid containers. The long straw is connected to an extrudable container, and the container is used for containing a bitter medicine liquid; and the container connected to the short straw is used for containing a sweet drinking liquid. In the using process, children are induced to suck and swallow the sweet drinking liquid through the short straw by utilizing the sweet drinking liquid, meanwhile, the bitter medicine liquid in the medicine liquid container is sucked or squeezed into the medicine liquid container by parents at the swallowing moment, and the bitter medicine liquid is directly guided to the throat or the part below the throat after the long straw crosses over the taste bud area of the tongue surfaceand is swallowed into the stomach together with sweet drinking liquid swallowed to the throat. The taste of people mainly depends on taste bud cells distributed on the tongue surface of the tongue, and the bitter medicine liquid is not in contact with taste bud cells when passing through the oral cavity, so that children only taste the sweet taste of the drinking liquid and cannot taste the bitter taste of the medicine liquid in the swallowing process, the purpose of enabling the children to unconsciously and smoothly finish drinking the bitter medicine is achieved, and the problem faced by vast parents that the children resist to drinking the bitter medicine after illness is solved.

When hot coffee is drawn through a regular straw, the drawn coffee directly impinges on the throat, which is sensitive to heat, and causes a burn thereto. Further, when juice is drawn through a regular straw, the juice is immediately drawn into the throat without allowing the juice to be fully tasted by taste buds distributed on the tongue. Meanwhile, when a liquid is drawn using this straw havinga dispersion function, as illustrated in fig. 1, the drawn liquid is sprayed out of a suction hole 14, hits a dispersion part 13, and then scatters in all directions except for the direction of the throat. This configuration can prevent the throat from being burnt in the case of hot coffee, and allows for the ingestion of the hot coffee without discomfort from the heat thereof. When used for juice ingestion, the straw also causes the drawn juice to scatter over the entire area of the tongue, and to come into substantially uniform contact with taste buds distributed on the tongue, and as the juice is swallowed down the throat, also to come into contact with taste buds distributed around the throat, thereby enabling the taste of the juice to be fully savored.
