An actin-binding protein, CAP, is expressed in a subset of rat taste bud cells

Neuroreport. 2001 Feb 12;12(2):233-5. doi: 10.1097/00001756-200102120-00011.

Abstract

Single cell cDNA libraries were constructed from taste bud cells of rat circumvallate papillae. Using three steps of screening, including differential hybridization, sequence analyses and in situ hybridization, a clone encoding a rat homolog of yeast adenylyl cyclase-associated protein (CAP) was identified to be highly expressed in a subset of taste bud cells.
