Does ENaC Work as Sodium Taste Receptor in Humans?

Nutrients - 24 Apr 2020

Bigiani Albertino

Abstract excerpt

Taste reception is fundamental for the proper selection of food and beverages. Among the several chemicals recognized by the human taste system, sodium ions (Na+) are of particular relevance. Na+ represents the main extracellular cation and is a key factor in many physiological processes. Na+ elicits a specific sensation, called salty taste, and low-medium concentrations of table salt (NaCl, the common...
