Although taste buds are trophically dependent on their innervation, cross-reinnervation experiments have shown that their gustatory sensitivities are determined by the local epithelium. Both the gustatory G-protein, alpha-gustducin, and the cell-surface carbohydrate, the A blood group antigen, are e
