Elucidation of the epithelial sodium channel as a salt taste receptor candidate and search for novel salt taste receptor candidates
Salty taste has evolved to maintain electrolyte homeostasis, serving as a detector for salt containing food. In rodents, salty taste involves at least two transduction mechanisms. One is sensitive to the drug amiloride and specific for Na+, involving epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). A second rodent...
