Abstract
The presence of the calcium-binding protein calretinin in taste buds of a teleost, the thick-lipped grey mullet, was investigated using immunohistochemical techniques. Taste bud sensory cells had calretinin immunoreactivity. The nerve fiber plexus innervating taste buds, the ganglia and the viscerosensory roots projecting to the vagal lobe, also showed calretinin immunoreactivity. These results demonstrate for the first time the occurrence of calretinin in the taste buds and the taste afferent system of a teleost.
