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.
