Ebnerin: a secreted von Ebner's gland protein associated with taste buds
 The present invention is directed to a novel von Ebner's gland secreted protein, designated Ebnerin, which is formed in the ducts of von Ebner's gland and secreted into fluid bathing the taste buds contained in the taste papillae. Ebnerin has been identified by isolation of a rat cDNA encoding a novel secreted protein of 1290 amino acids.
