Amiloride-blockable channels were found only on taste cells from areas supplied by ct nerve fibres (anterior tongue and in part the foliate papilla).

It was shown by electrophysiology that amiloride-sensitive transport occurs on basolateral aspects of the lingual epithelium. This is another challenge to the time-honoured idea that epithelial sodium channels are located on apical membranes only. However, if present on the basolateral membranes, which function do these channels serve?
