| Research Abstract |
The involvement of taste nerves in the regional differences in taste cell differentiation, and the regional differences in taste transduction machinery were analyzed between the soft palate and fungiform papillae. Our results suggested that taste nerves may not be involved in the regional differences in taste cell differentiation, and that the difference in bitter taste transduction may be caused by the differences in not only Gα proteins but also bitter taste receptors.
