Licking behavior with various salts in transmembrane channel-like 4 (Tmc4) knockout (KO) mice was observed. In Tmc4 KO mice, a significant decrease in sensitivity to chloride salts, such as NaCl, KCl, and NH4Cl, was observed, while no significant decrease in sensitivity to Na-gluconate was observed. This finding suggests that TMC4 may be involved in the detection of chloride taste.
