Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 The behavior of female malaria mosquitoes, Anopheles gambiae, especially seeking out blood hosts or selecting oviposition sites, highly depends on the detection of relevant odorants by their sense of smell.

First Contact to Odors: Our Current Knowledge about Odorant Receptor
Sensors, 2008 Chemical senses – especially smell – are known to be important for the fundamental life events such as sensing predators, selecting mates, as well as finding food.

An odorant receptor for a key odor constituent of ambergris. [PDF]
Commun BiolAmbergris, a substance derived from the digestive system of sperm whales, has been valued for centuries for its unique aromatic properties. However, historical accounts indicate that certain human populations, particularly in East Asia, utilized ambergris without regard for its odor quality.

BMC Biology, 2022 Background Odorant receptors (ORs) as odorant-gated ion channels play a crucial role in insect olfaction. They are formed by a heteromultimeric complex of the odorant receptor co-receptor (Orco) and a ligand-selective Or.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Expression and function of odorant receptors (ORs) are being increasingly reported in nonolfactory sites. However, ORs that can be targeted by drugs to treat diseases remain poorly identified.

BMB Reports, 2022 Odorant receptors (ORs), the largest subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors, detect odorants in the nose. In addition, ORs were recently shown to be expressed in many nonolfactory tissues and cells, indicating that these receptors have physiological and pathophysiological roles beyond olfaction.

Onset of Odorant Receptors [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009 Odorant receptors are thought to be critical determinants of olfactory sensory neuron axon targeting and organization. Nonetheless, a systematic characterization of the onset of odorant receptor expression has not yet been done in the main olfactory epithelium.

Odor sampling strategies in mice with genetically altered olfactory responses.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Peripheral sensory cells and the central neuronal circuits that monitor environmental changes to drive behaviors should be adapted to match the behaviorally relevant kinetics of incoming stimuli, be it the detection of sound frequencies, the speed of ...

Advantage of the Highly Restricted Odorant Receptor Expression Pattern in Chemosensory Neurons of Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A fundamental molecular feature of olfactory systems is that individual neurons express only one receptor from a large odorant receptor gene family. While numerous theories have been proposed, the functional significance and evolutionary advantage of ...
