Nematode homologs of the sour taste receptor Otopetrin1 are evolutionarily conserved acid-sensitive proton channels
Numerous taste receptors and related molecules have been identified in vertebrates and invertebrates. Otopetrin1 has recently been identified as mammalian sour taste receptor which is essential for acid sensation. However, whether other Otopetrin proteins are involved in PH-sensing remains unknown....
