    EMBO J 21:986-94. 2002
    ..Our finding that G proteins, OSM-9 and ADP-1 are involved in taste adaptation offer the first molecular insight into this process...

    Hannes Lans
    MGC Department of Cell Biology and Genetics, Center for Biomedical Genetics, Erasmus MC, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Genetics 173:1287-99. 2006
