Ca2+ → vesicle Ca2+ → / vesicle → ATP
mechanism → serotonin
1. The odorant binds to a specific olfactory receptor
protein in the cell membrane of a cilium of an
olfactory receptor cell.
2. Receptor activation stimulates a heterotrimeric G
protein (Golf).
3. The α subunit of Golf activates adenylyl cyclase III
(ACIII) → cAMP.
4. The cAMP binds to a cyclic nucleotide – gated
● Each taste cell makes synaptic contact w a different (CNG) cation channel

, primary gustatory axon leads into CNS → gustatory 5. Opening of this channel increases permeability to
discrimination Na+, K+, and Ca2+.

depolarization and increased [Ca2+]i

7. The increased [Ca2+]i opens Ca2+ → activated
