“…Trpm5 is expressed not only in the chemosensory cells but also in the mouse pancreatic β-cell line MIN6, pancreatic islets of Langerhans, and pancreatic β-cells ( Colsoul et al, 2010 , Nakagawa et al, 2009 , Oya et al, 2011 , Prawitt et al, 2003 , Yamamoto and Ishimaru, 2013 ). Trpm5 plays an important role in the regulation of GSIS from pancreatic β-cells via two major mechanisms: triggering and amplifying pathways ( Brixel et al, 2010 , Colsoul et al, 2010 , Liman, 2010 ). Trpm5 KO mice, like Skn-1 KO mice, gain significantly less body weight and fat mass and are more sensitive to insulin than WT mice when fed either a HFD or a high-carbohydrate diet ( Larsson et al, 2015 ).…”
