The mechanisms of generation of receptor potentials in response to the five basic taste stimuli were reviewed in mammalian taste cells. The receptor potential for NaC1 in the taste cell is induced by an Na+ entry through amiloride-sensitive Na+ channels at the apical receptive membrane. Nothing is known about the transduction of the other types of salts. The receptor potential for acid stimuli may be generated by inward currents flowing through cation channels of ionotropic proton receptors and Cl- channels of the basolateral membrane via metabotropic proton receptors. The gustatory transduction of bitter stimuli is concerned with two pathways. One pathway for a bitter stimulus such as quinine is a cascade of an activation of receptor, G-protein and adenylate cyclase, a production of cAMP and a closure of K+ channels via protein kinase A. The other pathway for another bitter stimulus such as denatonium is a cascade of an activation of receptor, G protein and phospholipase C, a production of 1P3, a release of Ca2+ from internal stores and a release of transmitter from the taste cell. Similar two pathways are related to gustatory transduction of two kinds of sweet stimuli, sugars and non-sugar sweeteners. Monosodium glutamate as an umami stimulus binds to metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR4 and the receptor potential may be generated by a cation entry through cation channels via an activation of PDE.
