TRPM5-expressing microvillous cells in the main olfactory epithelium (2008)
Lin, Weihong, Ezekwe, Ejiofor AD, Zhao, Zhen, Liman, Emily R, Restrepo, Diego
Abstract Background The main olfactory epithelium (MOE) in the nasal cavity detects a variety of air borne molecules that provide information regarding the presence of food, predators and other...
TRP2: A candidate transduction channel for mammalian pheromone sensory signaling
Liman, Emily R., Corey, David P., Dulac, Catherine
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) of terrestrial vertebrates plays a key role in the detection of pheromones, chemicals released by animals that elicit stereotyped sexual and aggressive behaviors among...
Relaxed selective pressure on an essential component of pheromone transduction in primate evolution
Liman, Emily R., Innan, Hideki
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) detects pheromones in many vertebrate species but is likely to be vestigial in humans. TRPC2(TRP2), a gene that is essential for VNO function in the mouse, is a pseudogene...
Intracellular Ca2+ and the phospholipid PIP2 regulate the taste transduction ion channel TRPM5
The transduction of taste is a fundamental process that allows animals to discriminate nutritious from noxious substances. Three taste modalities, bitter, sweet, and amino acid, are mediated by G...

Degeneration of the Olfactory Guanylyl Cyclase D Gene during Primate Evolution
Young, Janet M., Waters, Hang, Dong, Cora, Fülle, Hans-Jürgen, Liman, Emily R.
Bipolar sensory neurons within the vomeronasal organ (VNO) are thought to mediate the detection of pheromones in vertebrates. In the mouse, VNO neurons respond to pheromones with a rise in...

The Nociceptor Ion Channel TRPA1 Is Potentiated and Inactivated by Permeating Calcium Ions*S⃞
Wang, Yuanyuan Y., Chang, Rui B., Waters, Hang N., McKemy, David D., Liman, Emily R.
The transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) channel is the molecular target for environmental irritants and pungent chemicals, such as cinnamaldehyde and mustard oil. Extracellular Ca2+ is a key...
