20060845 Dehkordi O, Rose JE, Balan KV, Millis RM, Bhatti B, Jayam-Trouth A: Co-expression of nAChRs and molecules of the bitter taste transduction pathway by epithelial cells of intrapulmonary airways. Life Sci. 2010 Feb 13;86(7-8):281-8. Epub 2010 Jan 10.

This study was designed to determine whether nAChRs and the taste transduction molecules alpha-gustducin, PLC-beta2 and bitter taste receptors (T2R38) reside at sites of the intrapulmonary airways where interaction with the nicotine components of cigarette smoke is likely.

Most of the methods of tobacco use are linked to the oral cavity where the taste receptors, a primary site for stimulation of salivary secretion, are constantly exposed to tobacco for long time.
