The Structure and Function of Ionotropic Receptors in Drosophila [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Ionotropic receptors (IRs) are a highly divergent subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR) and are conserved across Protostomia, a major branch of the animal kingdom that encompasses both Ecdysozoa and Lophothrochozoa.

Ionotropic crustacean olfactory receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The nature of the olfactory receptor in crustaceans, a major group of arthropods, has remained elusive. We report that spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus, express ionotropic receptors (IRs), the insect chemosensory variants of ionotropic glutamate receptors.

Ionotropic Receptors as Potential Targets Against Insect-Transmitted Diseases [PDF]
BiomoleculesInsects can remotely detect human temperature, odor, and other stimuli as part of their host-seeking strategy. Such detection involves specific biomolecules, whose inhibition could limit host spotting and decrease the spread of insect-transmitted ...

Arthropod repellent interactions with olfactory receptors and ionotropic receptors analyzed by molecular modeling [PDF]
Current Research in Insect ScienceThe main insect chemoreceptors are olfactory receptors (ORs), gustatory receptors (GRs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs). The odorant binding sites of many insect ORs appear to be occluded and inaccessible from the surface of the receptor protein, based on

In vivo assembly and trafficking of olfactory Ionotropic Receptors [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2019 Background Ionotropic receptors (IRs) are a large, divergent subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) that are expressed in diverse peripheral sensory neurons and function in olfaction, taste, hygrosensation and thermosensation.

Chemoreceptor proteins in the Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus: Expression of Ionotropic Receptors, Gustatory Receptors, and TRP channels in two chemosensory organs and brain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, has two classes of chemosensilla representing "olfaction" and "distributed chemoreception," as is typical for decapod crustaceans.
