Luminal chemosensing cells in GI, including tuft cell, enteroendocrine cell (EEC), and afferent sensory neurons. A variety of GPCRs are expressed on the sensory cells, activated by luminal solutes before and after absorption through specific transporters. Sub-epithelial afferent nerves may directly receive signals from tuft cells and EECs.
