The mammalian amiloride‐insensitive non‐specific salt taste receptor is a vanilloid receptor‐1 variant

Abstract: The amiloride-insensitive salt taste receptor is the predominant transducer of salt taste in some mammalian species, including humans. The physiological, pharmacological and biochemical properties of the amiloride-insensitive salt taste receptor were investigated by RT-PCR, by the measurement of unilateral apical Na + fluxes in polarized rat fungiform taste receptor cells and by chorda tympani taste nerve recordings. The chorda tympani responses to NaCl, KCl, NH 4 Cl and CaCl 2 were recorded in Sprague-Dawley … Show more

“…In the urinary bladder, TRPV1 channels are present in both sensory nerves and the bladder epithelium, in which they contribute to voiding behavior (Birder et al, 2001(Birder et al, , 2002. Interestingly, in the tongue, TRPV1-positive fibers innervate the taste papillae (Ishida et al, 2002;Kido et al, 2003), and amiloride-insensitive salt responses in the chorda tympani are abolished in TRPV1-null animals (Lyall et al, 2004). Thus, TRPV1 or a splice variant may transduce some forms of salt taste perception.…”

“…However, the evidence that this protein is the sole receptor for salt taste is not compelling. A second mechanism that involves the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) has been demonstrated for some regions of the tongue using knockout mice (Lyall et al 2004;Ruiz et al 2006). The ENaC receptor is highly selective towards sodium, whereas the TRPV1 receptor is more broadly tuned and is responsible for rejection-responses to K ' , NH 4 ' , and Ca ' salts (DeSimone and Lyall 2006).…”

“…In rodents and Drosophila, salts are thought to be primarily sensed by cation influx through degenerin/epithelial Na þ channels (DEG/ENaC), leading to membrane depolarisation (Lindemann, 2001;Liu et al, 2003). In humans, the contribution of ENaC channels is less pronounced and salts are thought to be detected by a vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) variant, a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel family (Lyall et al, 2004). We use the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to unravel the molecular mechanisms that mediate the response to NaCl.…”
