1 Pungent sensation of hot peppers is thought to be mediated by vanilloid receptor subtype-1 (VR1), which can be activated by capsaicin, but there is little information regarding its histological localization in the tongue. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Rattus norvegicus

3 Although VR1-immunoreactivity was not observed in taste-bud cells, our findings that a large number of VR1-IR fibers concentrated in the taste papillae suggest that capsaicin easily reaches the VR1 nerve terminals because of its lipophilic nature. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Rattus norvegicus
