Chemosensory clusters Totally Explained

Everything about Chemosensory Clusters totally explained

Chemosensory clusters are aggregates formed by a small number of chemosensory cells with characteristics similar to those found in the taste cells of the oro-pharyngeal cavity. The chemosensory clusters are similar to the taste buds but are smaller, resembling the developing taste buds. Chemosensory clusters are located in the larynx distally to the portion in which are present laryngeal taste buds and proximally to re region in which solitary chemosensory cells are found. Rarely, chemosensory clusters may be found in the distal portion of the airway.
The elements forming the chemosensory clusters share common morphological and biochemical characteristics with the taste cells located in taste buds of the oro-pharyngeal cavity. In particular, they may express molecules of the chemoreceptorial cascade (for example trans-membrane taste receptors, the G-protein gustducin, PLCbeta2, IP3R3, TRPM5). Usually, in chemosensory cluster a true “taste pore” is lacking.
To date, the functional role of the chemosensory clusters is unknown.
