Taste receptor cells generate oscillating receptor potentials by activating g protein-coupled taste receptors

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    This study indicated that mouse taste receptor cells generated depolarizing receptor potentials with action potentials in response to NaCl and HCl (Ohtubo et_al, 2001), which activate ionotropic taste receptors (Zhang et_al, 2019; Heck et_al, 1984). Of the average 42 TBCs of a single fungiform taste bud of a mouse (Ohtubo and Yoshii, 2011), type I cells are the most abundant and are believed to function as glia-like supporting cells (Lawton et_al, 2000; Bartel et_al, 2006). Type II cells account for approximately 25% of a taste bud (Ohtubo and Yoshii, 2011) and function as . . .
