Sense of Taste in the Gastrointestinal Tract
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 Recent advances in molecular biology have led to the investigation of the molecular mechanism by which chemicals such as odors and tastants are perceived by specific chemosensory organs. For example, G protein–coupled receptors expressed within the nasal

PLOS ONE, 2017 Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) play important roles in transporting semiochemicals through the sensillar lymph to olfactory receptors in insect antennae. In the present study, twenty OBPs and three CSPs were identified from the antennal transcriptome of Microplitis mediator.

Cooperation of two distinct coupling proteins creates chemosensory network connections [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 SignificanceSignal transduction systems are important pathways that organisms use to sense and respond to their environments. Chemotaxis is controlled by a signal transduction system that allows bacteria to coordinate their movement in response to their environment.

Conserved chemosensory proteins in the proboscis and eyes of Lepidoptera [PDF]
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2016 Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are endowed with several different functions besides being carriers for pheromones and odorants. Based on a previous report of a CSP acting as surfactant in the proboscis of the moth Helicoverpa armigera, we revealed the presence of orthologue proteins in two other moths Plutella ...

Molecular Characterization of Three Chemosensory Proteins from Carposina sasakii
Agriculture, 2023 The peach fruit moth, Carposina sasakii, is part of the Carposinidae, and is harmful to the families Rosaceae and Rhamnaceae. C. sasakii lays eggs on the hairy surface of the fruit’s stalk cavity and calyx end. After hatching, the moth can bore into the fruits and feed on the flesh inside.
