Abstract excerpt
The recent discovery that subsets of rat taste receptor cells (TRCs) express the peptide cholecystokinin (CCK) and that subsets of TRCs respond to CCK with altered potassium currents or elevated intracellular calcium via CCK-A receptor has lead to the hypothesis that CCK may play a novel signaling role within the taste bud, perhaps modifying tastant responses by co-transmission with a classic transmitter. To...
