Abstract
⺠Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are involved in acid sensing, and probably also in mechanotransduction, in mammals. ⺠ASICs were examined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry in the adult zebrafish taste buds. ⺠ASIC2 and ASIC4 immunoreactivities were detected in taste sensory cells, and ASIC2 in nerves supplying them. ⺠ASIC1 and ASIC3 were absent from taste buds. ⺠ASIC2 and ASIC4 could play a role in taste in adult zebrafish.
