Taste Cells of the Type III Employ CASR to Maintain Steady Serotonin Exocytosis at Variable Ca<sup>2+</sup> in the Extracellular Medium

Type III taste cells are the only taste bud cells which express voltage-gated (VG) Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels and employ Ca<sup>2+</sup>-dependent exocytosis to release neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin. The taste bud is a tightly packed cell population, wherein extrace...
