Download Without Watermark With Free Membership
Description
Responses were recorded from nerves that serve the gustatory receptors of the tongues of normal mice and mice with a knockout (KO) of the PKD2L1 transient receptor potential ion channel. Only sensitivity to sour-tasting substances is affected by the mutation. (Adapted from Huang, A. L., Chen, X., Hoon, M.A., Chandrashekar, J., Guo, W., Tränker, D., Ryba, N. J. P., and Zuker, C. S.
